JACKIE SHROFF TO STAR IN DESI VERSION OF 'CRIMINAL JUSTICE'

Criminal Justice is a British television drama series produced by the BBC which follows the journey of an individual through the justice system. Now its Indian adaptation will be helmed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and will be produced by BBC Studios India. The series will feature Jackie Shroff, Vikrant Massey, Pankaj Tripathi, Mita Vashisht and Anupriya Goenka. The format has been adapted for India by Shridhar Raghavan and Aditya Birla Group's Applause Entertainment is making the official Indian version of the original British television drama series "Criminal Justice"

According to a leading daily, Jackie told, "After working in films for so many years, when BBC and Applause Entertainment approached me to work in the digital medium, it had to be something that was striking and different and that is exactly what 'Criminal Justice' is. The day Shridhar narrated the script and my role..., I knew this was it! The script brought out a host of emotions in me and I hope it does that to the viewers, too. It is mysterious, heart-pounding, unpredictable, thrilling and keeps you hooked and on the edge of the seat waiting for answers you thought you knew."

"It constantly undermines what we think we know and makes one question every single thing one sees," he added.

Sameer Nair, CEO of Applause Entertainment, said, "We are elated to announce this heady mix of a powerful story and a fabulous team of actors and story-tellers for 'Criminal Justice'... The team is looking forward to creating and providing more such quality content to the digital world."
