Isha Koppikar Narang, or ‘Cop’ikar as she is fondly known, would be essaying the role of Anjani Sinha in Ram Gopal Varma’s next series ‘Kadapa’, which is based on incidents down south. Any male officer who went there and took charge was either murdered or returned without success and then Anjani Sinha takes over and thus starts her journey. People have been wanting to see a female cop in the Rohit Shetty cop universe and we reckon, it’s about time as well. Who better than Isha to play that!

Isha shares her thoughts on the cop universe of Bollywood and says, “Normally, women are not considered as strong as men. But we have the likes of Dr Kiran Bedi. I am doing a web series with director Ram Gopal Varma called ‘Kadapa’ produced by MX Player and Times Internet. I am playing a police officer from the north posted to an unbelievably violent region in interior south India and that story is projected through my character’s experiences and interactions with local people who are very much like how the Colombian ganglords story is narrated by an American agent in ‘Narcos’.”

Elaborating further about the upcoming project, she adds, “Every policeman who went there failed and then a woman cop was sent there and then the story unfolds. We see power as physical but it’s as much mental, if not more. I love Rohit Shetty’s portrayal of the cops. The cops are generally underrated. And they deserve a lot of applause, which they are beginning to get now. It would be an exciting idea to be a lady cop in that universe. I am doing my best to bring quality entertainment to people. And that’s what I am committed to.”
