Shefali Shah and Adil Hussain-starrer series, "Delhi Crime Story", will have its world premiere at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival.
Directed by Indo-Canadian filmmaker Richie Mehta, the seven episode series is based on 2012 brutal gangrape case in Delhi that had shook the whole country.
The story is centred around the action taken by the Delhi police to catch the culprits and bring justice to the victim in record time.
"There were numerous challenges and risks with this series. We wanted to illustrate and explore a crime that is so incomprehensible to most people that you don't know where to start to think about it. But it's a topic that needs to be addressed," Mehta said in a statement.
Shefali is playing a "no-nonsense female police commissioner who begins to uncover the horrifying details of the victim's gang rape."
