New Delhi: Filmmaker Rohan Sippy who is all set for the premiere of 'Criminal Justice: Adhura Sach', described the challenges and excitement of shooting a legal drama.
The fan-favorite and critically acclaimed show is back with a twisted case at hand: the death of a popular child star Zara Ahuja, and the prime suspect of her murder- her own brother, Mukul Ahuja. With wit and humour by his side, the uncanny lawyer Madhav Mishra, reprised by Pankaj Tripathi returns for the third installment of 'Criminal Justice', along with Shweta Basu Prasad, Swastika Mukherjee, Purab Kohli, Aditya Gupta, Deshna Dugad and Gaurav Gera.
"The court sequences are obviously at the centre of a legal show like CJ. Because of scheduling reasons, we had set an almost impossible target to achieve it, but thanks to some great design by our cinematographer, and brilliant collaboration with our associate Shiraz Haider, we were able to not only capture great performances by the lawyers Pankaj Tripathi and Shweta Basu Prasad, but dynamise them with camera movement almost throughout, which helps with the pacing and overall edge of the show," Director Rohan said in a statement.
"It was also extremely challenging to pull off an extended thrill sequence within the remand home, which completely reinterpreted what was on paper and hopefully will keep the audience on the edge of their seats, and of course getting to work with the new cast for the season like Purab and Swastika was a highlight too," added Rohan.
Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with BBC Studios, the show will stream on Disney+Hotstar on August 26. (UNI)
