Jaideep Ahlawat: Done with cops, seeks challenging roles

Jaideep Ahlawat, who recently portrayed Rajveer Singh Tomar in 'Drishyam: The Conclusion,' has stated he is looking to conclude his run of playing police officers. The actor expressed a hope that the success of the film will bring him more challenging and diverse roles, moving beyond his previous typecasting.

Ahlawat commended his co-star Ajay Devgn for understanding the script's needs in 'Drishyam: The Conclusion.' He explained that Devgn allowed Ahlawat's character, Rajveer Singh Tomar, to genuinely threaten Devgn's character, Vijay Salgaonkar, enabling the narrative to progress as intended. This decision underscored Devgn's dedication to serving the story.

Despite a packed schedule, Ahlawat accepted the role in 'Drishyam: The Conclusion' due to its powerfully written character, calling it a wise decision. He revealed his upcoming project is 'King,' which is slated for release this year and features Shah Rukh Khan. Ahlawat indicated he has no other releases planned for the current year.
