Manoj Bajpayee plays Assistant Commissioner of Police Avinash Verma, a “lonely cop who is very good at his job”, in Aban Bharucha Deohans’s murder mystery Silence… Can You Hear It? When the daughter of a retired judge is found dead in Mumbai, Verma is brought in to crack the case.
“Avinash lives alone, while his separated wife lives with their daughter abroad,” Bajpayee told Scroll.in. “His only wish in life is have his daughter live with him. The film looks at how this man deals with the whole investigation, and how murder investigations work in general.”
The supporting cast includes Prachi Desai as Verma’s junior investigating officer and Arjun Mathur as a rising politician and one of the suspects.
“Prachi’s character is the only woman in the team and she looks up to Verma,” Bajpayee explained. “There is no love angle, romance, senior-junior issue here. We see how this girl is balancing the whole investigation. Arjun’s character is just starting out in politics and this murder happens in his family. He is a suave, English-speaking politician from a good family, and he is trying to get out of this mess.” The Zee5 original film will be out on March 26.
