I wanted him to be as real as possible in the series because it is the story of a real-life cop. Amit Lodha's character is based on a police officer, who, after doing well in the UPSC exam opted for the IPS instead of the IAS, even though he had both choices. You see, the life of a police officer is much harder than that of an IAS officer. Imagine how earnest and passionate the man was, who thought of becoming part of the system to change the system and eradicate crime."
