Angad Bedi learns from the masters of law
He is even going to the courts to learn how the advocates fight their cases
To play the role of a lawyer in the web series The Verdict: State Vs Nanavati, Angad Bedi is watching hours of footage of well-known lawyers. He is reading cases handled by renowned public prosecutors like Ujjwal Nikam and Gopal Subramanium as a reference point to understand their approach. He is even going to the courts to learn how the advocates fight their cases.
The actor explains, “The show has the perspective of three lawyers — Karl Jamshed Khandalavala, Ram Jethmalani and Chandu Trivedi. There are distinct political and religious angles besides the staunch divide between Parsis and Sindhis in that socio-political scenario. When you portray a real-life person on the screen, you need to base it on facts. Studying the cases of Nikam Sir and Subramanium Sir was necessary to get a more holistic approach. Besides gait and body language, arguments have to be delivered with precision and I wanted my monologues to be smooth.”
