On Monday, the show's trailer was unveiled. The series stars Ram Kapoor as detective Armaan Mistry, and Mona Singh as Sehmat, his "fearless and sharp-witted partner". Joining them is an eclectic ensemble cast featuring Shikha Talsania as Sharanya and Kshitish Date as cop Bunty.

Directed by Rishab Seth, Mistry is the Indian adaptation of the critically acclaimed US series Monk.

On what fans can expect from his character, Ram in a press note said, "Armaan is one of the strangest, most fascinating characters I've played. He has his quirks but they aren't just that, they are his coping mechanisms. It's his way of bringing order to a disordered world. And yet, somehow, he's the guy who walks into chaos and finds clarity. The experience of working on this project and accepting Mistry was one of the most fulfilling ones I have had in my career. Mistry is bizarre, fun, unpredictable--and full of soul."

Mona Singh, on portraying Sehmat shared, "Sehmat is strong, self-assured, and crucial to how the story unfolds. She doesn't tiptoe around Armaan's oddities; instead, she challenges him, balances him, even outwits him at times. She's an anchor with her own motivations and sharp edges. Mistry makes you laugh, then makes you think--and then makes you laugh again because the characters are so unapologetically themselves. I think that's what will stick with the audience."

Shikha Talsania also opened up about her character.

"Sharanya is spunky, smart, and completely unfiltered--she brings a different energy into Mistry's world, sometimes feeding the chaos, sometimes grounding it. As an actor, this project gave me so much to explore. I've always loved a good thriller, but adding this kind of humour--this manic unpredictability--was such a rush. It's so exciting when you're with a team on and off camera that is ready to play. That's what Ram, Mona, Kshitish got to do with our fun ringmaster, our director Rishab - we got to play," she shared.

'Mistry' will be out on JioHotstar June 27.

Finally some good detective content coming our way! Ram Kapoor is such an underrated actor - loved him in Bade Acche Lagte Hain. The Indian adaptation of Monk sounds interesting. Hope they've done justice to the original while adding desi tadka! 🤞

Mona Singh is always a delight to watch. From Jassi to now this - she's come a long way. The chemistry between her and Ram looks promising in the trailer. Though I hope they don't make it too much like typical Bollywood masala and keep the essence of Monk intact.

As a huge Monk fan, I'm both excited and nervous about this adaptation. The trailer looks good but Indian remakes sometimes miss the subtle humor of originals. Fingers crossed! Also, Shikha Talsania is such a brilliant choice - loved her in Four More Shots Please!

The casting looks perfect! Ram Kapoor as the quirky detective and Mona as his partner - what a combo! But I hope the writing is strong enough. Indian shows often ruin good concepts with unnecessary drama and stretched episodes. Please keep it crisp like the original!

Yay! More Indian content moving beyond saas-bahu dramas. The trailer has me hooked with its mix of mystery and humor. Hope this encourages more such experimental shows. JioHotstar is really stepping up their game with these originals. Can't wait for June 27! 😍

The concept sounds interesting but I'm worried about the execution. Many international adaptations lose their charm when remade in India. Hope they've adapted it well to our cultural context without losing the essence. The trailer does look promising though!
