Why We’re Excited For Voot Select’s Next Original Series, ‘Illegal’

By Rashmi Paharia - Apr 18, 2020 @ 07:04 pm
Why-We're-Excited-For-Voot-Select's-Next-Original-Series,-'Illegal'

Voot Select is on a high ever since it transformed from the previous Voot to its new premium avatar, Voot Select. Reason being, all three original series that it has streamed since debut have been hits. Asur and The Raikar Case are officially hits, while Marzi too has been received very well by the viewers. 

Now it’s time for the OTT platform to premiere its next Indian Original series, which happens to be ‘Illegal’. This upcoming Original from Voot Select seems poised to follow the success of its illustrious predecessors, and it has got us well and truly excited. Here are the reasons – 

An intriguing premise – 

‘Illegal’ has, at its core, a very intriguing premise, quite unlike what one normally gets to see in homegrown content. It is a courtroom drama, with a gripping narrative. It reveals all that is wrong in the law and justice machinery of the country, and how the law can be manipulated by greedy lawyers, causing innocents to be pronounced guilty, and the guilty to walk scot-free. 

Per the logline of ‘Illegal’ — “Two high profile cases, a battery of high-power legal eagles & the number one law firm of the country. A first of its kind intense, racy legal drama that questions whether all lawyers are mercenaries or can some resist the lure of greed, ambition and power; and fight to win defining judgements that hold the bar of justice high and restore faith in humanity?”

A superb cast – 

‘Illegal’ has a truly stellar cast on board, which lends heft to the narrative. It marks the digital debut of theatre and Bollywood stalwart, actor-writer-singer Piyush Mishra, who plays a lawyer in the series. Digital stars Kubbra Sait, Neha Sharma, Akshay Oberoi, Parul Gulati and Satyadeep Mishra play crucial roles in the series. Lastly, Taher Shabbir Mithaiwala, Deepak Tijori, Aditi Tailang, Vicky Arora, complete the rest of the cast, among others. 

A brilliant crew – 

The people behind the making of ‘Illegal’, that is its crew, are some of the best in the digital arena at present. The series has been written by Reshu Nath, who has previously written popular shows such as Bose: Dead or Alive, Broken But Beautiful and Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat for ALTBalaji. It has been directed by Sahir Raza, and produced by Samar Khan, who has several well-received productions under his belt. Well-known cinematographer Sameer Arya has undertaken the cinematography for the series. Vikram Bhatt is the creative producer. 

These then are the primary reasons why we are excited for Voot Select’s ‘Illegal’. The series is slated to release by the end of April, as per the April Streaming Calendar revealed by Voot Select.
