Vijay Varma recently delivered two knockout performances as a serial killer/wife beater, in Reema Kagti and Ruchi Oberoi's Prime Video series Dahaad and Jasmeet K Reen's Netflix India film Darlings, respectively. However, he will be next seen playing a cop in Kaalkoot, a new thriller series on JioCinema.

Vijay Varma as cop
The trailer for Kaalkoot shows Vijay sporting the khaki uniform of a police officer. He's posted in a small town. The trailer starts with him writing a resignation letter to his superior, claiming that the recent cases that have come his way have taken a mental toll on him. However, his resignation is rejected and he's sent back to investigate an acid attack case.
Vijay's Mirzapur co-star Shweta Tripathi seems to be playing an acid attack survivor in the case his character is probing. We also see glimpses of Seema Biswas and Gopal Datt, in a rugged form as his superior police officer.
