With only days to go before The Verdict: State vs Nanavati drops online, Angad Bedi is hopeful that his months of preparation for the part will hold him in good stead. Based on the 1959 KM Nanavati case, the ALTBalaji offering sees him play lawyer Karl Jamshed Khandalavala who served as the defense counsel. The actor, we're told, referred to the archival stories of Blitz — a popular investigative tabloid in the '50s — to prep for his role.

A source says, "Angad wanted to immerse himself in the milieu of the show. To be able to gain insights into the case, he sourced the original articles of the weekly newspaper, Blitz, which was instrumental in changing the narrative of the case. Since many of Karl's arguments were chronicled in the articles, he studied them thoroughly. It helped him give shape to his character."
