Angad Bedi to play a criminal lawyer in Alt Balaji's next courtroom drama, The Verdict

The Verdict - State vs Nanavati is based on the real life events of KM Nanavati.


The 'Pink' star is back here again to strike with power play. After his impressive act in Inside Edge, Angad Bedi is all set to play the role of a criminal lawyer in Alt Balaji's next 'The Verdict - State vs Nanavati'. It is a 10 episode series and is based on the real life events of a naval officer KM Nanavati. 

The story is based in 1959 where KM Nanavati shot a businessman three times with his revolver and went on to confess his crime to the Police. In a statement by the studio, it was reported that Angad will play Karl Khandalvala, a criminal lawyer of that time. 

Angad Bedi too talked about his role in this series and said that after Inside Edge, he was keen to do a show only if it ups the ante in terms of uniqueness of story line. When he heard the concept of this show, he loved it. He said that powerful and exceptional roles like these are what actor dreams are made of. 

He went on to say that the story of The Verdict is so powerful, who wouldn't take up the opportunity to play Karl Khandalawala, the experienced top running criminal lawyer. It's an interesting role for him and he has already started preparing for it. He continues to be grateful for this opportunity and says that he is so glad to have got this opportunity to work with Shashant Shah who is going to direct this show.

The infamous story of KM Nanavati is a much talked criminal case in the history of Indian crime. Movies like Rustom and books like Nanavati ka Mukadamma have been inspired by the very same set of events. 

Talking about Ekta Kapoor, he said that while there are certain genres that are identified with Ekta Kapoor, she is now all determined to break every stereotype attached with her name. He said that one can expect the unexpected this time with The Verdict.
