After the resounding success and overwhelming popularity of its initial two seasons, ‘Illegal,’ India’s beloved courtroom drama, has today unveiled the trailer for its highly anticipated third season. Coming soon on JioCinema, the show boasts a stellar cast including Neha Sharma, Akshay Oberoi, Piyush Mishra, and Satydeep Mishra, portraying pivotal roles intricately woven into the fabric of legal conflicts and personal lives. This season further elevates its narrative with the inclusion of acclaimed talents such as Neil Bhoopalam, Zayn Marie Khan, Asheema Vardaan, Ira Dubey, and Anshuman Malhotra, promising viewers an enthralling continuation of the series’ compelling saga.
In this exciting new season of the series, the Mad lawyer Niharika Singh, portrayed by the talented Neha Sharma, embarks on a gripping journey fuelled by ambition to become Delhi’s top lawyer, forsaking her once cherished ideals. Throughout the series, we have witnessed her idealistic conflict with Janardhan Jaitely (played by Piyush Mishra), now the CM of Delhi. However, in this latest instalment, we witness her descent into the shadows, transforming into her own nemesis.
Viewers will be captivated as they witness Akshay’s shocking discovery of his father, Janardhan Jaitley’s, involvement in the murder of his mother, igniting a fierce battle between father and son. Meanwhile, Niharika and Akshay embark on a compelling journey of rediscovery, navigating the complexities of their relationship to find common ground amidst turmoil. As Niharika dives deeper into her pursuit of power through high-profile cases, viewers will be drawn into her world of ambition, where moral boundaries blur, self-interest prevails, and her conscience teeters on the edge of uncertainty.
Piyush Mishra shared his excitement on the trailer launch, “Every role you play, helps you grow as an actor as well as a human being. My role as JJ in Illegal is also the same. Each step in this role has been a revelation, uncovering layers of my character. The script has been so intriguing, that it has demanded the best out of all the actors and the third season is no exception. I have always been attracted to characters with multiple layers and JJ is one such role.”
Neha Sharma who plays the role of Niharika Singh, an emerging lawyer shared, “As Illegal was my first show on OTT, it will always have a special place in my heart. The show has given me a chance to work with so many talented actors and a ringside view into law and the lives of lawyers. I have enjoyed traveling with Niharika on her journey, and in this season, she will dive deeper into the web of justice and morality, where the boundaries between right and wrong get further blurred for her. I’m looking forward to the audience watching the show soon.”
Akshay Oberoi also shared, “The show is full of complex situations and dilemmas. Every day on set was a learning experience, where the script would give us some good knowledge about the Indian Legal system and Piyush Ji would keep us enlightened about his experiences in the acting and performance front. Looking forward to receiving the love and accolades that the previous two seasons have achieved.”
Stay tuned for an intense battle that will blur the lines between legal and illegal in the third season of ‘Illegal’, coming soon, exclusively on JioCinema.
