Inspector Avinash trailer: Randeep Hooda is a ruthless cop who fights goons, but there’s a twist. Watch

Bollywood actor Randeep Hooda is all set to play the role of a cop in the upcoming film Inspector Avinash. In the trailer, viewers are treated not only to impressive action sequences but they also get a glimpse of Urvashi Rautela.

Hooda, who plays the character of a fierce police officer named Avinash Misra, is shown taking on thugs all by himself. The official synopsis reads, “Inspector Avinash takes you to the heart of Uttar Pradesh in the 90s, a world plagued by rampant crime and corruption. With the mafia and illegal arms trade reigning supreme, a brave and exceptional cop, Avinash Mishra, with his team, battle to curb the growing mafia dominance. As he fights for a crime-free state, with an unmatched network of informants called Mayajaal, the show vividly portrays the grueling and intense scenes of how Mishra fought gangsters, and the sacrifices and risks involved in fighting for justice in a corrupt system.”

Randeep Hooda said that it’s important to tell stories that are rooted in India. The actor said in a statement, “As an actor, I am always drawn towards real-life stories of unsung heroes. It is important to tell stories rooted in India, stories that depict the struggles and triumphs of our people. Mishra’s story is nothing short of a real-life modern day Robinhood, fighting against crime and standing up for what’s right and I am truly honoured to be a part out this heroic story. While I love playing cop roles, this role was different. I spent a lot of time with Avinash ji to get the nuances right.”
