Hrithik Roshan impressed with Neha Sharma's performance in 'Illegal', Here's what he said

Hrithik Roshan on Wednesday took to his Instagram handle to praise Crook actor Neha Sharma's performance in her latest web-series 'Illegal', streaming on Voot. The show also stars Akshay Oberoi, Piyush Mishra, Kubbra Said, and Satyadeep Misra.

Calling her acting 'real and convincing', Hrithik Roshan said that she has done a superb job playing the role of a powerful lawyer Niharika. Illegal is a courtroom drama with much flair to exploit the genre.

The web series on Voot Select released on May 12, 2020.

Neha Sharma essays Niharika Singh, the young lawyer who is hired not only on the basis of her qualifications but also her gender for a controversial case by one of the topmost law firms in the country. She realizes the man who she works for is a prodigy by a two-faced corrupt lawyer who works for personal gains.
