Pankaj on returning to the show
Talking about his character, Pankaj said, “Criminal Justice feels like homecoming to me. Every time I return as Madhav Mishra, it’s like reuniting with an old friend who still has something new to teach me. There’s an honesty and warmth to him that audiences have held onto through every season. That love is deeply humbling. Madhav isn’t just a character I play—he’s someone I carry with me. And with each chapter, that bond only grows stronger. I’m thrilled to be back and can’t wait for fans to join us once again in the courtroom.”
For director Rohan Sippy, it was “an absolute delight” to get an opportunity to return to work with Pankaj Tripathi. He feels Pankaj has made Madhav Mishra such an unforgettable character.
“And yet again this season brings in a powerful new cast as well, who play off him brilliantly and shape a unique legal drama thriller that audiences will really engage with. We hope this builds on the great legacy that we have created with the incredible team at JioHotstar as they take the 4th season to the widest audience imaginable,” he said.
