Gaurav Banerjee, Head - Content, Disney+ Hotstar & HSM Entertainment Network, Disney Star said, "Bringing ‘The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha’ together is the result of high collaboration and support of everyone involved, be it the director, Suparn to our charismatic show lead Kajol to our producers, Deepak Dhar from Banijay. At Disney+ Hotstar we strive to bring in content which is genre-defining and highly entertaining and this title is certainly that. We look forward to launching this inspiring story for our viewers and hope they enjoy it."
Kajol, playing the role of Noyonika Sengupta in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha said, "The complexities are what defines a character to me and the layers surrounding Noyonika are what spoke to me when this role first came over. Noyonika felt personal, I instantly felt protective about her and that reaffirmed my faith in choosing The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka on Disney+ Hotstar to be my first step into the long format. Suparn Varma has built a world where the vulnerability of characters meets the cruel situations posed by life. The audience will feel for and feel one with Noyonika as she makes difficult choices because I did."
Jisshu Sengupta, playing the role of Rajeev Sengupta in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha said, "Suparn Varma is a brilliant filmmaker and a storyteller. He treats his characters and their world like his own. My character Rajiv is black to Noyonika’s white and that’s what fascinated me. Collaborating with Kajol for Disney+ Hotstar’s The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka on this was absolutely incredible, she brought out a whole new shade to Rajiv’s character. I think the audience will find their chemistry quite different and keep them hooked to find out where they end up in life."
Suparn S Varma, Showrunner and Director for Disney+ Hotstar’s The Trial - Pyaar, Kaanoon, Dhokha said, "A choice is not defined by black and white facets, it's the grey area that leads you to make the decision. Disney+ Hotstar’s The Trial - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka treads in the grey area and the complexities that come with it. The characters are weaved into the story in a way that each of them navigates the story in a unique direction which builds their character arcs. Kajol as Noyonika and Jisshu Sengupta as Rajiv bring this tightly woven world together seamlessly. The series will see remarkable talent collaborating with each other for the first time and I think that will be refreshing for the audience to watch."
