Ali Fazal, who was previously seen in, has just had a release with the Prime Video series Raakh. Directed by Prosit Roy, the show has Ali playing SI Jayprakash who leads the investigation after two teenagers go missing. Recently, the actor spoke about the role, and its challenges.

Speaking about why he consciously rejected the ‘macho cop’ template in the gritty series, Fazal said, “My first question going into the show was how we could make this character feel different because there’s already a very fixed idea of what a cop looks and behaves like on screen. They’re often portrayed as macho, loud, larger-than-life figures who command every room they walk into. With JP (Jayprakash), I wanted to move away from that template completely.”
