ZEE5,
India's
largest
homegrown
OTT
platform,
picks
content-driven
stories
which
make
for
impactful
films
and
next
up
is
another
such
intriguing
courtroom
drama
about
an
economic
offence.
The
wait
for
a
glimpse
of
'420
IPC'
starring
veteran
actors
like
Vinay
Pathak,
Ranvir
Shorey,
Gul
Panag
and
promising
actor
Rohan
Vinod
Mehra
is
over
as
the
makers
released
the
trailer
of
the
suspense
drama.
Directed
by
Manish
Gupta
and
produced
by
ZEE
Studios
and
Rajesh
Kejriwal
and
Gurpal
Sachar
under
their
banner
Kyoorius
Digital
P.L,
the
film
centres
on
a
chartered
accountant
Bansi
Keswani
(Pathak),
who
is
arrested
for
an
economic
offence.
Mehra
plays
the
part
of
Pathak's
defence
lawyer,
while
Shorey
will
be
seen
essaying
the
role
of
an
eccentric
Parsi
public
prosecutor
with
Panag
playing
the
wife
of
Pathak's
character.
The
trailer
shows
Vinay
Pathak
as
a
simple
Chartered
Accountant
who
has
influential
clients
like
the
Deputy
Director
of
MMRDA.
When
this
client
is
arrested
by
the
CBI
for
a
1200
crore
scam
and
when
another
client
accuses
Keswani
(Pathak)
of
stealing
and
forging
3
blank
cheques
of
Rs.
50
Lakhs
each,
Keswani's
life
turns
upside
down
as
he
fights
the
grave
accusations
of
theft,
forgery,
and
attempted
bank
fraud.
The
trailer
keeps
the
viewers
guessing
as
to
whether
Keswani
is
a
crook
or
a
victim?
Writer-Director
Manish
Gupta
mentions,
"After
exploring
murder
mysteries
and
false
rape
cases
in
my
previous
films,
I
wanted
to
make
a
suspense
film
that
did
not
involve
a
violent
crime
and
had
subtle
humour.
I'd
got
the
idea
for
420
IPC
during
my
extensive
three
years
of
research
for
Section
375
that
brought
me
face
to
face
with
court
procedures
in
economic
offence
cases
-
which
I
found
to
be
an
unexplored
premise
for
a
film."
Vinay
Pathak
mentions,
"I
believe
in
the
power
of
good
writing
and
that's
what
'420
IPC'
is.
It's
a
tight
script
written
by
Manish
Gupta
with
an
edgy
plot
which
will
keep
the
audience
hooked
till
the
last
frame.
I
play
a
simple
family
man,
a
chartered
accountant,
who
finds
himself
in
the
midst
of
a
scam.
Please
block
the
date
-
17th
December
-
and
watch
this
suspense
drama
on
ZEE5."
Ranvir
Shorey
mentions,
"In
'420
IPC',
I
am
portraying
the
role
of
an
eccentric
Parsi
public
prosecutor
which
is
something
I
haven't
done
before.
This
is
a
riveting
suspense
film
about
an
economic
offense
which
is
an
uncharted
topic
in
Bollywood,
so
I
am
excited
to
see
audience's
reaction
to
the
trailer
and
the
film."
Gul
Panag
mentions,
"ZEE5
is
known
to
support
content-driven
stories
and
give
a
global
platform
to
impactful
storytellers
and
I
am
so
glad
to
have
been
a
part
of
'420
IPC'
which
has
a
dynamic
team
comprising
writer-director
Manish
Gupta
and
such
talented
actors.
It
truly
is
a
spectacular
film
on
a
serious
crime
but
served
with
a
side
of
subtle
humour.
I
can't
wait
for
17th
December
when
everyone
all
over
the
world
can
watch
the
film
on
ZEE5."
Rohan
Vinod
Mehra

"With
a
plethora
of
content
choices
out
there,
it
is
my
endeavour
to
offer
something
unique
and
edgy
to
my
fans.
'420
IPC'
is
just
the
kind
of
film
I
was
waiting
to
dip
my
feet
in,
and
I
am
elated
that
I
could
be
an
integral
part
of
it.
It
is
a
double
whammy
for
me
that
it
is
premiering
on
India's
largest
homegrown
OTT
platform
ZEE5,
which
is
available

190+
