Mumbai, Aug 3 (IANS) The teaser of the upcoming season of 'Criminal Justice' was unveiled on Wednesday. It shows Pankaj Tripathi returning as Madhav Mishra with his wit, strategies and the pursuit for truth as he says in the teaser 'Jeet aapki ya meri nahi, Nyay ki honi chahiye'.
The show, which debuted on OTT in 2019 has earlier registered massive success with both the seasons. With the third season titled 'Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach', dropping its teaser, the trend seems to follow the same course.
This time, Pankaj Tripathi will be presented with one of the toughest cases of his career as he has a face off with a steel gritted Assistant Public Prosecutor, Lekha, played by Shweta Basu Prasad.
Commenting on the occasion, Pankaj Tripathi said: "As an actor, I have always wanted to be part of different kinds of stories. With the character of Madhav Mishra, I have been fortunate enough to explore them in 'Criminal Justice' series across seasons. In the new season, he sets out on a new adventure where he questions the limits of our laws. There is much more to look out for in this season, with Madhav Mishra taking a deep dive into the legal battles of his clients."
The series is produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios India and is directed by Rohan Sippy.
Director Rohan Sippy said in a statement, "In the new season of 'Criminal Justice', Madhav Mishra questions the judiciary and its limits by revealing a never-before-seen side to our legal systems. The new season captures his fight insightfully and sensitively in their rawest form."
The series will soon drop on OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar.
From singers like Udit Narayan, Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Javed Ali, rapper Mika Singh to Bollywood celebs Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani, actress Soniya Kapoor and many more will be entertaining the audience with their songs and different acts.
Set in the backdrop of the 1971 War, with India backing freedom fighters in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) against Pakistan's oppression, and Pakistan attempting to forcefully bring India to the negotiating table by advancing across our western borders, this film is expected to stir the spirit of patriotism.
Industry legends Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Padmini Kolhapure, Anil Agarwal, Sonu Nigam, Kailash Kher, Alka Yagnik, and Shabbir Kumar have lent their voices for the song.
The audience will get to see her in a never-seen-before avatar performing extreme physical training routines alongside the Veerangana Force, India's first female commando unit to tackle rising crime against women in the state.
Shot by ace photographer Taras Taraporvala, the ad features Malhotra with a ghastly 'cut' on her face seemingly made by an 'ankus' (a sharp-edged device used to control elephants), asking her fans to "try to relate" to the animal's fate by never riding an elephant. Her hairstyling and make-up were done by Natasha Mathias.
