Nail Polish is a courtroom drama directed by Bhargava Krishna. Described as a story about a murder trial, the film weaves the back story and court proceedings to showcase a journey of criminal discovery.

Arjun, who is essaying the role of Sid Jaisingh, a high-profile defence lawyer in the film, reunites with ZEE5 after his series The Final Call. “With a wonderful cast combined with a very addictive energy and clarity of the director Bugs Bhargava Krishna, this is a project that is extremely promising and allows everyone to push one’s limits to a level, that hopefully shall transform itself into something very special,” the 47-year-old actor said in a statement. Kaul said his character of Veer Singh is the “most difficult and thrilling” role he has played to date. “The script and my part were really intriguing and instantly got me hooked... Though we have just started shooting, it’s been fantastic to work with Arjun, Rajit and Anand as my co-stars, the energy on the set is quite intense,” he added.
