Om Puri is all set to play a police officer in BAABARR for the 30th time in his entire career. The veteran actor in a tete-a-tete with our correspondent.
You play a police-officer in BAABARR. Elaborate
Yes, I am playing a police-officer. There was no reason to choice specifically this. God knows how many more times I'll play police-officer. I have already played a cop 30 times.
Right from ARDHSATYA you have played the character of police-officer several times. How does it feel?
The journey of being police-officer from film ARDHASATYA till BAABARR has been great and much more beyond learning and witnessing hard-core reality. I have played both positive as well as negative shades of police-officer. In ARDHSATYA I was honest, committed and dedicated police-officer. Whereas in BAABARR, I am a corrupted police-officer. I help culprits and go ahead with planning-plotting against its own system. I thoroughly enjoyed playing police-officer Chaturvedi. In reality such officers do exist in our system.

'I have played cop 30 times' | Coming back to BAABARR what is the story of the film? It is kind of creating anxiety.
This is the story of a boy who started from the streets of Aman ganj had trespassed every barrier of crime. For the 10 years that followed, he traumatized one and all. His reign of fear terrorized everyone in the state, right from the common man to the Government. This was... BAABARR
The movie also stars Mithun Chakraborty. How was it to work with him?
It was immense pleasure to work with him. Everyone knows what kind of actor he is. I always earned pleasure to work with stars like Amitabh Bachchan in film
DEV and Naseeruddin Shah in film MAQBOOL.
You are known to get into the depth of the role you play. Did any role had major impact on you and affected your personal life?
Yes, ARDHSATYA role really influenced me. Talking about other roles, until I am on the sets, the character is the only thing which revolves in my mind and blood. Once I am off sets I am simply Om Puri.
