Playing a cop

Shashie Verma, who was seen playing pivotal roles in Shorgul, Bala and Panchayat, will be seen essaying the role of a cop in Swara Bhasker-starrer web series Flesh. Talking about his role, Shashie said, “I’m essaying the role of an ACP who is from Kolkata. Swara Bhasker is playing a cop too and I assist her. Most of my scenes are with her and it was a great experience. She always gives space to co-actors.”

He added, “The series is about harsh and brutal reality as well as child trafficking. It is full of action scenes.” The web series also stars Akshay Oberoi, Vidya Malvade and Mahima Makwana. Flesh has been written by Pooja Ladha Surti and directed by Danish Aslam. The series will stream on Eros Now from August 21.
