Armaan Mistry is ostensibly the Indian version of Tony Shalhoub's Adrian Monk, who worked with the San Francisco Police Department on unconventional cases.

Mona Singh (Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin) plays ACP Sehmat Siddiqui, while Shikha Talsania (Wake Up Sid) and Kshitish Date (Mulshi Pattern) also star.

Rishab Seth, who has directed the show, said, "Mistry was such a unique and fulfilling experience. Ever since I came on board, I was excited to dive right in as it is such an interesting premise and an even more interesting character to explore. Ram has done absolute justice to our vision of Armaan Mistry and the rest of the cast - Mona, Shikha, Kshitish have added so much value to the overall story."

It marks the first adaptation of the series, about a detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder, in South Asia and comes after a deal between Banijay Asia and NBCUniversal Formats to remake shows for the Indian market.

Monk ran on USA Network from 2002 - 2009 and spawned a movie that aired on Peacock in 2023.

'Mistry' will be released on JioHotstar on June 27.

Interesting concept but I hope they Indianize it properly. Sometimes direct adaptations feel forced. Ram Kapoor is a great choice though - his comic timing is underrated!

Mona Singh is back! ❤️ After Jassi and Laal Singh Chaddha, I'm so happy to see her getting good roles. She deserves more recognition in the industry. Will definitely watch this for her.

Monk is one of my favorite shows ever. Hope they don't mess this up. The casting seems promising but the writing needs to be top-notch. Fingers crossed!

Interesting to see how they'll handle the OCD aspect in Indian context. Mental health awareness is growing here but still a sensitive topic. Hope they portray it respectfully while keeping the humor intact.

Not sure about this. Indian remakes of western shows often feel cringe-worthy. But with this cast and JioHotstar's budget, maybe they'll pull it off. Will give it a try for Ram Kapoor's acting!
