Randeep Hooda‘s digital debut with Chris Hemsworth’s Netflix crime-thriller Extraction was taken well by the audience and now he is all set for his next OTT series.
Peepingmoon.com exclusively reported that Hooda has next signed a web-series for Jio Studios banner, titled Inspector Avinash.
The project is a thrilling cop drama and will be directed by Neeraj Pathak. Randeep will be playing the role of an Uttar Pradesh police officer dealing with crimes in the state.
A source said “Randeep has been committed to this project since last year. The project was earlier supposed to roll early this year but was delayed due to Randeep’s busy schedule. The team then had planned to start filming in April but the sudden COVID-19 lockdown hampered it all again. Neeraj Pathak, Randeep, and the team recently had a virtual discussion and they’re now planning to start the show from January 2021 onwards.”
Inspector Avinash is Jio Studios second web project since it announced its foray into web content production in 2018. Their first web series was a dramatic love story set in Mumbai’s film industry in the 1970s, revolving around the relationship between a struggling filmmaker and a top heroine.
Randeep is currently shooting for his social-comedy, Unfair N Lovely with Ileana D’Cruz in Haryana.
