The show marks several firsts for Riteish.
On labeling the rite as 'underrated', Raj said, "I find the term 'underrated' quite peculiar, especially when it comes to the Deshmukh rite. Every time I see him perform, I am reminded of what a fabulous actor he is. Riteish has an understanding innate knowledge of what each function requires and executes it with remarkable precision.”
"It's not fair to label such a talented individual 'underrated.' His versatility, dedication and consistent excellence deserve full recognition and appreciation. Instead of labeling him or any actor as underrated, we should celebrate his contributions and recognize the immense talent they bring to the industry,” stated the director of ‘Nobody Killed Jessica’.
Talking about casting Riteish as the lead of the show, Raj said, “When I finished writing the show and thought about who could play this character, several names came to mind. But when we saw Riteish, I thought it would be very interesting to see him play that role.”
“There were options, but he was the first one Ronnie and I thought we should approach. We have seen his work before him: he has done comic roles, negative roles and several roles in his Marathi films. He has taken on different types of roles, so I knew the scope of him and I thought it would be very interesting if we could collaborate on this project,” the 'Raid' director concluded.
Directed by Raj and produced by Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies, the show delves into pharmaceutical scams and unethical medical trials.
The series chronicles the journey of a pill from production to consumption, featuring a diverse set of characters including powerful pharmaceutical industrialists, corrupt doctors, medical representatives, compromised drug regulators, politicians, journalists and whistleblowers.
Riteish plays Prakash Chauhan, a CDSCO official who leads the fight against corruption and takes on the powerful owner of a pharmaceutical company.
The show is now streaming on JioCinema.
