"After many years of being stuck with the roles of rich, playboys, or recently the gangster Phan Hai in The Judge, this is the first time I get to transform into a police officer. I'm very happy because it's a completely different image, as if it helps me return to being myself," the actor shared.

Singer Hien Anh said that although Viet Anh was very busy, when she proposed, the actor did not refuse. Viet Anh just "teased" her: "I asked the soldiers if they agreed to let me play this role, because up until now I have only played drug lords or drug lords' sons."

Regarding the salary paid to Viet Anh, Hien Anh revealed that she only paid "symbolically" because "Phan Hai" and the singer's husband - former football player Nguyen Manh Dung - had a close relationship in real life. When Hien Anh asked for Viet Anh's account number to transfer the salary, the actor refused and immediately changed the subject.

Hien Anh said that the song "Song of Silent Heroes" was composed and performed by her to pay tribute to the heroes and martyrs who fell in the drug war and all the officers and soldiers of the People's Public Security force investigating drug crimes.

"I have heard many touching stories from people in the industry. During the war, many soldiers were injured, even sacrificed to catch criminals. I shed tears many times while writing this song," the singer added.
