Sharman Joshi may have just received the biggest stamp for approval there is for an actor. The 37-year-old actor who plays a cop in Vishal Pandya’s upcoming crime-thriller Wajah Tum Ho was mistaken for the real deal by a bunch of youngsters as he shot for the film in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala area a few weeks ago.

“We were shooting a nakabandi sequence at the back roads in the afternoon when three young guys on a bike approached us. My assistant was also dressed as a cop and I had my back towards them. They promptly proceeded to offer a bribe to the assistant, concocting a sob story about why they weren’t carrying a licence when I turned around. It soon dawned on them that it was a film set. The whole unit had a good laugh,” Sharman told Mirror, adding that he escorted the hapless boys to their bike. “I told them, ‘You are going triple-seat. If you come across real cops, it’s at your own risk,’” he laughed.
