Mohit to star in Bhaukaal

Actor Mohit Raina has been roped in to play the role of a police officer in the upcoming police drama Bhaukaal.

The series is inspired by the real-life achievements of Navniet Sekera, an IPS officer who brought down an organised crime syndicate in Uttar Pradesh in the early 2000s.

Actor and producer Harman Baweja is the creator and show runner. He has teamed up with director Jatin Wagle for the series. 

The series will adapt real life stories based on the criminal gangs and their turf wars. It will also high lights the nexus of criminals, local persons of influence and authority and their impact on people and local culture.

“Bhaukaal brings me a chance to play a brave police officer, one who brought change and broke through the age old criminal and local political nexus. I am happy and excited to play this character,” Mohit said. 

The series is being made by Applause Entertainment, the content studio from the Aditya Birla Group, along with Baweja Movies. It also features Abhimanyu Singh, Siddhanth Kapoor, Bidita Bag, Sunny Hinduja, Rashmi Rajput, Pradeep Nagar and Gulki Joshi. —IANS
