"For the first time I will be seen essaying the character of a judge. The profession itself has not got its due in mainstream cinema and it was an interesting role for me to pursue. The intense narrative of the show is not just gripping but also brings out the emotional complexities of the characters beautifully," he added.

"Your Honor" is adapted from the Israeli series "Kvodo", and is directed by the National-award winning director, E.Niwas.

The story follows the life of a reputed judge Bishan Khosla and how his life changes when his only son gets involved in a hit-and-run case. It grapples with the question -- will judge Khosla choose to put everything at stake to overrule the system?

The show, which will go live on SonyLIV, also stars Mita Vashisht, Varun Badola, Yashpal Sharma, Parul Gulati, Suhasini Mulay, Richa Pallod, Kunj Anand, Pulkit Makol, and Mahabir Bhullar.
