“So, those gestures Ajay Devgn has…he doesn’t speak much about it. But it’s our job to speak about it and tell people what a great guy he is. So, I know Rohit bhai from those days. Both of us have been friends and he has been somebody who is very supportive in all my charitable endeavors, especially for cops. And Rohit bhai is always there for that,” Vivek said.
The actor further said that when Rohit called him for Indian Police Force
and informed him that he has been writing this script for 3 years and from the day he first wrote the character of Vikram Bakshi, he wanted him to do it.
“That’s big honour and that’s huge respect. So you feel like you want to work with him. It is mutual when you feel desired like that,” Vivek added, expressing his gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with Rohit on his upcoming project.
