Vikram Bhatt who plays a lawyer named Aakash Awasthi comes to her rescue.While the show is largely a courtroom – drama, what is unknown that it is inspired by real-life events. Sreejita De’s character in the digital show is actually based on a real life girl by the name by Amanda Knox, an American writer and activist who was in prison for four years post a wrongful conviction.
While researching on the show, it was his daughter Krishna Bhatt who came across the case and then developed the idea into a script adapting the struggle of Amanda Knox for a limited series which was then made into a 10 part series.
A source close to the Bhatt’s say “While Krishna was working on a concept to work with she came across this case. Vikram and Krishna found Amanda’s story very interesting. They gave a Indian background to one of the most iconic court cases of America”.
