‘THE FATHER-SON EMOTION IS UNIVERSAL'

‘I try not to break any laws.’

Did you know Jimmy Sheirgill was not open to an OTT show until he was offered the thriller Web series Your Honor, directed by E Niwas?

The actor plays a respected judge who goes all out to save his son, who gets involved in a hit-and-run case.

“I have known E Niwas for some time. I had loved his School for which he got a National Award. So I knew I was in safe hands.”

You are really good as a judge as well as a father trying to save his son.

When I met E Niwas the first time, he narrated the idea and I liked it.

After that, he sent me the script, which was almost 500 pages.

I read it and loved it.

After that, I watched the original Israeli series, Kvodo. Obviously, in that country, the legal system functions in a different way.

But what was interesting is the backbone of the story, about a father and his son.

There is a gap between the father and son relationship. The father is trying to find the connection again, which he can’t.

Then all of a sudden, his son is involved in a hit-and run case.
