Soha Ali Khan plays cop in her next film

Mumbai: Actress Soha Ali Khan will be playing the role of a police officer in `Mr Joe B Carvalho`.

Soha is excited to sport the khakhi uniform and will be seen beating up the bad guys in `Mr Joe B Carvalho`. "The film`s opening scene has me arriving in the jeep and beating up 20 muscular men, that`s what motivated me to do the film. "You won`t see me in a normal costume in this film. I either sport the attire of cabaret dancer, a fairy suit or a bikini; it was exciting for me to play these different roles instead of playing a single role as the girl-next-door," Soha said. Directed by Samir Tiwari `Mr Joe B Carvalho` stars Arshad Warsi, Soha and Jaaved Jaffrey. It releases on January 3.
