Whether it was his critically acclaimed performances from Sarbjit to CAT to Extraction to Main Aur Charles and Swatantrya Veer Savarkar, the actor has consistently gone beyond surface-level acting to truly embody the people he plays.

Randeep Hooda’s portrayal in Inspector Avinash stands out as the level of detail and realism he brought to the character. Since the series is based on the life of real-life cop Inspector Avinash, Hooda ensured that he adapted not just the physical appearance but also the complete personality of the officer.
From the signature moustache and hairstyle to the commanding screen presence, Randeep recreated the exact look Inspector Avinash had during his younger days in the police force. But the transformation did not stop there. Known for his method-driven approach to acting, Randeep did spend time closely observing the real-life officer to understand his body language, way of speaking, walking style, his language, his accent, and even his approach towards handling cases.
The actor carefully studied how Inspector Avinash carried himself in high-pressure situations and translated those nuances onto the screen with precision. His commitment to authenticity is what has made audiences connect deeply with the character and the story. This dedication to realism has become a hallmark of Randeep Hooda’s performances over the years. Be it physically transforming himself, adapting mannerisms, or emotionally understanding the psyche of real-life characters, he consistently pushes himself to deliver performances that feel honest and believable. “People connected with the character because Randeep brought sincerity and truthfulness to the role. He gave complete justice to my journey, and for that I will always respect his hard work and commitment”, the Inspector said.
The real-life Cop, Inspector Avinash himself is extremely pleased with the way the series has been received by audiences, both during its earlier run and now with the latest season. He is especially happy with how faithfully Randeep Hooda portrayed him on screen and believes the actor did complete justice to his journey and personality. “Randeep Hooda didn’t just play my role, he understood my personality, my duty, and the emotions behind the uniform. The way he observed my body language, the way I speak, walk, and react in difficult situations was remarkable,” said Inspector Avinash.
The officer further revealed that Hooda spent considerable time understanding his life and approach toward policing before stepping in front of the camera. “He paid attention to the smallest details from my appearance and moustache to my working style and mindset as a police officer. Very few actors put in that level of effort. Watching him on screen felt like revisiting my younger days,” he added.
