Feels great to return as Madhav Mishra in second season of Criminal Justice, says Pankaj Tripathi

Pankaj Tripathi played the struggling lawyer Madhav Mishra in the first season of the Hindi web-series Criminal Justice, which is being streamed on Disney + Hotstar. The funny and unorthodox character succeeded against all odds in solving a complicated case purely through his wits in the first season.

However, the lawyer is now apparently unhappy since he has not been getting any high-profile cases despite solving such a big one [in the first season]. 

Tripathi shared a video on Instagram, as Tripathi, to vent his frustration. “I won such a big case last time. But now I am not getting any interesting cases. All I am getting is petty cases like theft and pickpockets. Others are getting such big cases but I am not,” he said in the video, where he also mentioned that his character is now married. 

The makers of Criminal Justice, on the other hand, have revealed that Tripathi’s character is in for a huge surprise. 

Speaking about his character’s return in the second season, Tripathi said in an official statement, “It feels great to come back as one of my favourite characters — Madhav Mishra. I won't reveal too much information right now; so stay tuned for more.” 

The second season of Criminal Justice will see the return of Nikhat Hussain played by Anupriya Goenka while Shilpa Shukla will join the cast.
