MUMBAI: The Neha Sharma and Akshay Oberoi starrer Illegal 3 is all set to release on 29th May 2024 on JioCinema. The courtroom drama series recently dropped its trailer, stirring up emotions among fans eager to see how the story unfolds this season. Amidst the growing anticipation, Neha Sharma, who plays Niharika, an ambitious lawyer who has recently opened her own firm and aims to be the best lawyer in Delhi, opens up about her character and the plot this season.

While speaking about the plot development in season 3, Neha shares, “This season, Niharika will be seen in a new form. Of course, you will still see glimpses of the old Niharika, but now that she has built her own firm with Punneet, she has changed. We see a bit of resemblance between her and JJ (Janardhan Jaitley) as her goals have shifted. She takes on many interesting cases this season, all inspired by real-life incidents.”

She also adds on her character sharing, “I was brought up in an environment that boosted my moral compass. I know many people who operate in the gray area, but my parents raised me to firmly see things as either black or white. I can't relate to Niharika in this season, as she ventures into the gray zone a lot. However, I do understand our writers and director’s intention for Niharika’s character development and consider it necessary.”

Illegal 3 will release on JioCinema Premium at Rs 29/month ad-free from 29th May
