After two years of delays at the negotiation table, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari has finally kicked off her courtroom drama. The Amazon Prime Video film, originally set to star Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kiara Advani, will now be headlined by Sonakshi Sinha and Jyotika. While the team had planned to start the shoot in March, it only began last week in Malvani, Madh Island, and Vile Parle, where courtroom interiors have been recreated.

An insider revealed that the original plan with Kapoor and Advani didn’t materialise “because it didn’t align with [our] timelines and creative direction.” “Early this year, after shelving the initial version, a fresh draft was locked. Sonakshi came on board after extensive look tests and readings. She brings a grounded intensity to the role that impressed the creative team.”
