Harleen is currently seen as a cop in Bad Cop that also stars Gulshan Devaiah and Anurag Kashyap. She revealed, “As I come from a Sikh family, we have a different association with people in uniform. Unfortunately, the second season of Test Case, in which I was supposed to play an Army officer,  didn't happen, and my family was upset about it. But I've made up for it now. Uniform comes with a certain responsibility and thankfully, we were morally on the right path.”

Speaking of how the film industry has evolved in the last few years, Harleen revealed, “I would like talented people and artists, with good skill sets, to get projects which they deserve instead of the projects going to people who are only building and working on perceptions. It's not about how many fans you have on Instagram or whether you are an A-lister. I have lost out on a lot of projects because of this. I have been made to audition two to three times, I've reached the final round, I've tested with the directors and then eventually, the roles have been passed to an A-lister just because of perception, not because of their skills or talents. When the movie comes out, they've not left any impression there. If that changes, it will be great. “
