India, May 27 -- A fter the web series Mirzapur was adapted into a feature film, set for a theatrical release later this year, buzz has been growing around more popular Indian shows making the jump to the big screen. Now, HT City has exclusively learnt that Inspector Avinash, headlined by Randeep Hooda, is next in line for a theatrical adaptation. The development comes close on the heels of the show's second season releasing earlier this month. Series writer-director Neerraj Pathak confirms, "Yes, we have decided to make it into a film. Real-life cop Avinash Mishra ki kahani bhi badi hai aur humara hero (Randeep) bhi bahut bada hai!" He reveals that work on the script has already begun. "Avinash ji has been part of several Special Task Force (STF) and Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) operations. So there are many stories that can be told, like the encounter with (gangster) Sri Prakash Shukla," he says, adding, "We are working on three scripts in parallel and will zero in on which one can go first within a fortnight." The 54-year-old shares that the idea of turning the series into a film has been discussed since its inception, and season two even hints at it. In one episode, Randeep, who is also the show's narrator, says, "Ispe toh puri film banni chahiye." Neerraj adds that while discussions around a film had been ongoing, now feels like the "right time" to take the story to theatres. "A film was in consideration earlier too, but the canvas of the story and its characters, along with a big STF team, family, politicians and criminals, was so vast that we decided to make a season-based series. Now is the right time for a film." Besides Randeep, Inspector Avinash also stars Urvashi Rautela and Adhyayan Suman, among others. Neerraj further hinted that new faces could also be introduced in the film adaptation....
