Priya Bapat played a flawed, fragile, and human cop
In an exclusive conversation with News18 Showsha, Priya Bapat reflected on her role in Andhera. Unlike the usual heroic, unflinching police officers that dominate the Indian film industry, ‘Kalpana Kadam’ is a deeply vulnerable character. Priya Bapat insists that she approached ‘Kalpana’ from her emotional core rather than her badge. For the actor, ‘Kalpana’s’ identity is shaped by regrets, humanity, and the personal stakes of her investigation.
