SonyLIV 2.0
announces its content line-up for the first month, opening with the original
series ‘Your Honor’
With a refreshed brand identity,
SonyLIV is all set to bring forth an array of original content ranging from
thrilling fictional narratives to real-life incidents and many more.
Challenging the predominant beliefs of morality and ethics, SonyLIV’s very first
original content titled Your Honor,
a dark and morally complex thriller, is all set to go live on 18th
June.
Your Honor is adapted from the
Israeli series Kvodo, distributed by Yes Studios, has been produced for
Applause Entertainment by Sphereorigins and is directed by the National-award
winning director, E.Niwas. Life was
good for an upright, honest and reputed judge Bishan Khosla until he found
himself facing a life altering situation. His only son gets involved in a
hit-and-run case. While Bishan is about to turn in his son to the police, he
learns about the victim's identity. Will judge Khosla, the man of honor, choose
to put everything at stake to overrule the system?
Oscillating between the complexities of morality and ethics, Jimmy
Sheirgill brings to life the agony of Bishan Khosla in this thriller. Joining
Jimmy Sheirgill in this enticing new offering are renowned actors like Mita
Vashisht, Varun Badola, Yashpal Sharma, Parul Gulati, Suhasini Mulay, Richa
Pallod, Kunj Anand, Pulkit Makol, and Mahabir Bhullar.
Offering a power-packed monsoon binge, SonyLIV also releases Manoj
Bajpayee’s critically acclaimed film Bhonsle
alongwith a dark comedy Kadakh
starring Ranvir Shorey. The english shows For
Life and Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector also make their Indian
debut on the platform. While the former is inspired from a true story, the
latter is a thriller adapted from the book “The
Bone Collector” by Jeffery Deaver.
Talking about the show, Jimmy
Sheirgill, Lead Actor, Your Honor said, “As an actor, I don’t think I want to restrict myself in
exploring different avenues. The script becomes an important aspect for me
while choosing the project that I am getting involved with. Your Honor is one
such project that I am proud of. For the first time I will be seen essaying the
character of a judge. The profession itself has not got its due in mainstream
cinema and it was an interesting role for me to pursue. The intense narrative
of the show is not just gripping but also brings out the emotional complexities
of the characters beautifully.”
Elaborating on the subject of
the show, Ashish Golwalkar - Head-Content SET, Digital
Business, Sony Pictures Networks India said, “SonyLIV Originals are Indian stories
created for a global market. The storytelling therefore will have a signature
Indian ethos and authenticity. Your honor is the first such show and will be
followed by an interesting line up of Indian stories coming soon. We are
delighted to partner with Applause Entertainment, Sameer Nair, Director E Niwas
and a stellar cast spearheaded by Jimmy Sheirgill to bring Your Honor for our
subscribers.”
Talking about the partnership, Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment said, “We are glad to
partner with SonyLIV as they embark on their journey of originals. Your Honor
is the first of our four originals scheduled to go live on the all new SonyLIV
and we are sure the audience will enjoy this show. We look forward to a longer
association ahead with SonyLIV.”
