Prithvi also essays a policeman in Aditya Chopra's Aurangzeb. The actor recently committed quite a gaffe when he screamed at a cop in Chennai.
A source says, `Prithviraj often jokes that he has a cop's DNA in his system. While shooting for his film, Prithvi walked up to a man who he thought was also playing a cop in the film. He asked him to pull his act together.`
As luck would have it, the man turned out to be the Chennai Traffic Commissioner of Police. Prithvi says, `I thought he wasn't looking like a cop. Later I learnt his real identity and that he was on a lunch break from his rounds when I spotted him.`
