No malice among actors of ‘Criminal Justice’: Shroff
Mumbai: Noted actor Jackie Shroff, who is making his digital debut with upcoming web series titled ‘Criminal Justice’, has said that there is an absence of malice in the actors of his crime-drama web series and that will be one of the key reasons that audience will be able to see a good show onscreen.
Jackie Shroff was interacting with media at the special screening of Hotstar Specials web series ‘Criminal Justice’ along with his co-actors Pankaj Tripathi, Mita Vashisht, Anupriya Goenka and director Tigmanshu Dhulia on Tuesday in Mumbai.

Talking about his digital debut with ‘Criminal Justice’, Shroff said, “After working in the film industry for almost 40 years, I am making my debut on a digital platform though a web series and it was really nice experience for me. Makers of the show gave full freedom to their actors to perform best of their capabilities.”
