New Delhi: The trailer of Kajol’s debut OTT web series ‘The Trial – Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka’ was released on Monday. Kajol’s husband and actor Ajay Devgn, also one of the producers of the courtroom drama, took a dig at Kajol during the trailer launch.
When asked if working as a producer with Kajol, he faces actor trouble on the sets, Ajay said: "Actor trouble is only at home, otherwise it is a fabulous cast, and fabulous actors."
And who runs the show at home: Kajol or he? Prompt came Ajay's reply: "Everyone who is married, be it me or you, or anyone in the audience, whoever is married, knows the answer to this question, and trust you in me, the answer will be the same, just one unanimous answer: 'Who handles things at home? Who is in charge?'."
Directed by Suparn S Varma, the series is an Indian adaptation of the popular American legal TV drama 'The Good Wife'. Produced by Banijay Asia and Ajay Devgn Films, the show stars Kajol as Noyonika Sengupta who returns to being a practising lawyer after her husband, a former state's attorney, is imprisoned for a sex and corruption scandal.
Apart from ‘The Trial – Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka’, Kajol will also be seen in Netflix’s anthology ‘Lust Stories 2’. When asked about the difficulties she might have faced in migrating from the silver screen to OTT, Kajol said: "It is a rather simple choice for me. I have always maintained that if I work, I will have fun, I will work with good people, and the script will always be my hero, always. The work is the same. I am not different in any manner, my work is not different in any manner. I don't think it is not that difficult a choice to make."
The series also has an ensemble cast of Sheeba Chaddha, Jisshu Sengupta, Alyy Khan, Kubbra Sait and Gaurav Pandey in pivotal roles.
The series will stream on Disney+ Hotstar on July 14.
