Kazbe is powerful and hard-hitting, and Kashyap said he prepared for the role by drawing traits from various negative characters he had created. He praised Fremantle India and Aditya as great collaborators, noting that the show revealed a very different side of him.

Kashyap mentioned that he had no specific process for Kazbe, finding inspiration from Nana Patekar in Parinda and Irrfan Khan in Haasil. He mentioned he would only look at the script before shooting and relied on the dialogue writer for guidance.

Playing a negative character was cathartic for Kashyap, and he shared it allowed him to release it from his system. He also said he hopes the audience would enjoy seeing him in this avatar.

Meanwhile, Gulshan Devaiah expressed his excitement and said, "Bad Cop is a thrilling story that doesn’t pretend to be anything else but entertaining. What drew me the most to the script was the character/s I had to play."

The actor continued, "Karan and Arjun are identical twins with very different personalities and moreover one is a cop and the other a crook. I’m very happy that Fremantle India and Disney+ Hotstar brought me this opportunity where I yet again get to play twin brothers.  

Devaiah further mentioned that Karan and Arjun, despite being twin brothers, have very different outlooks on life and are dealing with distinct interpersonal problems.

He mentioned he had to prepare himself both physically and mentally for the role. The actor expressed that playing the twins in Bad Cop had been the most amazing experience of his career so far and hoped that the audience would find it enjoyable as well.
