Rishi spends 10 days with cops to play a police officer

After making his debut as a gangster in Attu, Rishi Rithvik will now be donning khakhi in his next, Marijuana. The film, directed by debutant MD Anand, will be a thriller that talks about how drug addiction is leading to crimes.

Says Anand, “We generally blame parents for their children turning into monsters. This film will show how parents should be vigilant and ensure their kids don’t stray into a dangerous path. The film’s antagonist commits crimes under the influence of marijuana, and the story is about how the hero and heroine, who are both cops, nab him.”

Rishi reveals that he spent 10 days with cops to prepare for this role. “I didn’t want any shades of Attu to come into this role. One of my brothers is a police officer, so I tagged along with him for 10 days to study the body language of cops to get into this role,” elaborates the actor.
