The trailer of Rohit Shetty’s debut OTT series, Indian Police Force, was unveiled today. The trailer launch event of the Amazon Prime original show took place in Mumbai with lead actors Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Vivek Oberoi, along with Isha Talwar, Shweta Tiwari and Nikitin Dheer also attending it. Indian Police Force marks Rohit’s cop universe’s first foray into the web and will see all its protagonists’ engaging in high-octane action sequences, including Shilpa, across its seven episodes.
At the event, the filmmaker revealed that Shilpa did all the stunts on her own and even severely injured herself during one of the scenes, which led her to remain confined to the bed for a good few months. “Shilpa has really given her blood and sweat. In one scene, she got a fracture. She was at home for three months and I can’t say thanks to myself,” he said with a laugh.
Speaking about it, Shilpa added that though this isn’t the first time that she performed stunts in a project, it’s definitely the first time that she hurt herself so badly. “I have done action before but it was my first major fall. I feel so elated that Rohit thought of me to play Tara Shetty. My go-ahead was actually when I actually heard the name of the character. It was written so beautifully and I’ve literally given an arm and a leg,” she shared.
Thanking Rohit for offering her Indian Police Force, Shilpa shared, “But what I loved about playing this part is that it was also gritty and so real. We’ve done action before but this is the first time we haven’t used a single stunt double. It was Rohit’s conviction that he wanted to keep it that way.”
She further added, “We were playing real life heroes and he wanted to keep it as real as possible. He pushed us and prepped us to be ready to attempt something like that. It was a huge opportunity for me and I grabbed it with both hands. I’m so happy to be associated with IPF. It’s an ode to our forces. It was an absolute pleasure to be associated with it.”
Indian Police Force is co-directed by Sushwanth Prakash and is all set to release on January 19.
