Aside from Abhishek, the Case Toh Banta Hai trailer also featured Vicky Kaushal, Pankaj Tripathi, Shahid Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha, Chunky Panday and Ananya Panday. The celebs were seen facing unusual accusations levelled against them. Earlier, in July, the first trailer of the series released and showed Karan Johar, Sara Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Rohit Shetty, Anil Kapoor and Varun Dhawan in the witness box. While Riteish appears on the show as ‘janta ka lawyer (public’s lawyer)’, Varun defends celebrities in his role as ‘Bollywood insaaf specialist (Bollywood justice specialist).’ Kusha is ‘the fiesty judge’, who will announce celebrities as guilty or innocent.
Abhishek was last seen in the film 2022 Dasvi alongside Yami Gautam and Nimrat Kaur. On the other hand, Aishwarya will soon be seen in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: I. The film will be released in cinemas worldwide on September 30. Apart from Aishwarya, it also stars Karthi, Vikram, Jayam Ravi, and Trisha.
