Actor Angad Bedi is all geared up to be seen as a
lawyer in Ekta Kapoor's next web series based on real life courtroom drama The
Verdict narrates the story of Nanavati murder case one of India's biggest and
high profile court cases. Angad will be seen playing the real life character
Karl Jamshedji Khandalavala presenting the defence on the famous case of all
time K M Nanavati vs State of Maharashtra.
This would be the first time Angad will be seen
donning the cape of a lawyer onscreen. He took this as an opportunity to play
the role as a matter of fact lawyer Khandalavala is a legend, a Padma Shri
awardee, an author, he was a connoisseur of art and music, an ex Air force
officer and a Judge. Karl Jamshedji Khandalavala was a very flamboyant and
India’s top criminal lawyer. So much so that the man never lost a case in his
life. 15 top lawyers refused to fight the open and shut
case only then did he take it on and turned the verdict around and won the
case. He was a family man but in his professional field he fought every case as
if it was his last. He never lost. A character with such a diversity and
multiple shades in his life, Angad wouldn't have let it go and is all set to
portray Karl for the first time onscreen in Verdict.
When asked Angad playing Karl, he said, “To
portray a real life character is the toughest job for an actor because one
never knows which direction to flow. Karl Jamshed Khandalavala has been my most
challenging yet emotionally draining part I have ever played or prepped for. To
internalise Karl I read up a lot on firstly the law set in the 1950's.
Spent time on getting the body language correct. Speech used in court in that
era was crystal clear so had to keep all that in mind while trying to memorise 6 to
8 page monologues. The look played a very important
part. This is the first time I have had a chance to experiment with my look. So
the suits were brought in the rimless round spectacles came in. The hand watch
came in to play with a very stiff upper lip kind of arrogance”.
