Netflix’s partnership with Biswapati Sarkar is continuing with Maamla Legal Hai, an upcoming legal comedy series starring Ravi Kishan. A workplace comedy set in the Patparganj District Court, the series features a collection of ‘jugaadu’ lawyers who routinely come across odd cases, including one where a parrot is put on trial due to its foul language.
Bhojpuri cinema icon Ravi Kishan plays VD Tyagi, who is described as ‘a shrewd lawyer who challenges the lambe haath (long arms) of justice’. Joining him is Harvard LLM alum Ananya Shroff (Naila Grrewal), ‘a passionate advocate for justice’. Nidhi Bisht, plays Sujata, ‘the OG Didi who hasn’t represented a single case so far’, but still wants her ‘own air-conditioned chamber’. And then there’s Vishwas Pandey, played by 12th Fail’s Anant V Joshi, the court manager who considers himself the Donna Paulson of Patparganj District Court, a nod to the savvy secretary from the popular TV show, Suits.

Speaking about the show, Ravi Kishan shared, “This is my first time donning the character of a lawyer and I can’t tell you how much fun it was. Working with Sameer, Rahul, and Saurabh was a delight, their vision truly inspired me. When they first narrated the show to me, I couldn’t say no, simply because I could visualize these characters and their shenanigans. After Khakee, this is my second project with Netflix, and I love how they challenge every actor with diverse roles. I hope the audience enjoys watching Maamla Legal Hai as much as we enjoyed making it.”
Sameer Saxena serves as the showrunner, while Rahul Pandey serves as series director. Maamla Legal Hai is written by Saurabh Khanna and Kunal Aneja. Netflix previously collaborated with Sarkar’s Posham Pa on the thriller series Kaala Paani, and the comedy film Jaadugar. Maamla Legal Hai will be released on March 1.
