Randeep Hooda's Inspector Avinash goes on floors

Randeep Hooda's digital foray Inspector Avinash, which is being directed by Neerraj Pathak, went on the floors recently in Mumbai. The cast held a religious ceremony on the sets before the commencement of shooting on Friday. 

The cast of the series comprises Urvashi Rautela, Adhyayan Suman, Mahesh Manjrekar, Rajniesh Duggal, Amit Sial, Govind Namdev and Freddy Daruwala.

The show, which is based on incidents in the life of super cop Avinash Mishra, is set in Uttar Pradesh.

Impressed by the police officer's achievements, Pathak approached him three years ago and he agreed to come on board. Hailing from Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, Mishra has been a part of the Special Task Force and the Anti-Terrorism Squad. Often referred to as Guruji, he has contributed to several important cases and was posted in Lucknow for quite some time. He retired later as a DSP.

Speaking about the series, Pathak said, "Everyone on board is passionate about the story we are going to tell and we are hopeful about creating an engaging web show."
