From late November till mid-December of 2017, Haq starred in a dual role (twin brothers Gopal and Amal Chandekar) as the main antagonist in 4 episodes of The Indian Detective. As Gopal Chandekar, he displays the most notorious gangster and vicious crime lords in Mumbai - conniving, fiendish, dangerous, ruthless, devious, short-tempered and growing ever closer to his ultimate mission. Yet Gopal's polished and handsome public image belies a dark and sinister truth about how he really makes his money. As Amal Chandekar, Hamza displays a more calmer and patient supporting antagonist who knows how to handle Gopal's anger and unpredictability, and helps viciously manage their criminal empire - an empire which may be about to get a whole lot bigger.
