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 the 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 1950s. 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.

Angad added, "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”.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-Airforce officer and a Judge. Karl Jamshedji Khandalavala was a very flamboyant and India’s top criminal lawyer. 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 never lost.
