Actor Karan Tacker is currently busy promoting his upcoming crime thriller web series 'Khakee: The Bihar Chapter' in which he will be seen portraying a cop.

Helmed by the much-acclaimed director, the series follows the story of epic tussle between two men on both sides of the law -- one a dreaded gang lord and the other a fiercely upright Indian Police Service officer Amit Lodha.

Speaking about how he got picked up this role, Karan Tacker said, "It's so cathartic to talk about the first time I was approached for Khakee : The Bihar Chapter. I'll never forget that day. It was on 16th of March, one day before the release of another show that I was doing with Neeraj sir and Shital sir. Shital Bhatia, who's the producer at Friday Storytellers, he set up a meeting. I had no idea what it was about heading in. As soon as I walked in, he asked, "will you do a story of a cop and a robber?" That's all he had to say and I was sold. I said, of course, I'll do it sir. And that's all. That's all that he said that day and I went back home totally stoked."
