“I am very excited to be part of the Criminal Justice remake in India. This is my second digital series, and it is amazing to see how much audiences are loving the digital space. My role and the details of the show are still being chalked out, but looking at both the British and American versions, I know there is going to be a bit of everything in this show. I am looking forward to working with Tigmanshu Dhulia, Jackie Shroff and Vikrant Massey.”
