Ronit Roy’s character helped nab criminals in the recent web-series Candy (2021) despite being a teacher.
Now, Roy will solve crime cases officially as an assistant commissioner of police (ACP) in the show titled ACP Gautam.
The twist is that this is an audio show on Spotify that went live recently.
A statement on Roy's audio debut read, "The 10-episode audio crime thriller centres on a legendary cop who takes listeners on a journey through his long and illustrious career. Each episode will lure you with mysterious murders, robberies, kidnapping, extortion, terror investigations and more. Although the story revolves around ACP Gautam, it is also the other compelling characters and sinister twists that bring the show to life."
Speaking of the challenge of emoting merely through his voice, Roy said, "Performing a variety of roles in front of the camera comes naturally to me. However, taking a character as interesting as ACP Gautam to a podcast was a whole new experience. To emote through the mic, to convert expressions into some kind of sound or pause and conveying a variety of emotions just through voice and intonation — it’s all been good fun! I am eager for listeners to become a part of ACP’s Gautam life, just as I have."
ACP Gautam is set in the 1990s in New Delhi.
