The streaming giants unveiled the first look of the Hotstar special via a tweet and captioned it: “Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka - a fight of #TheGoodWife #HotstarSpecials #TheGoodWife, coming soon.”
The 48-year-old actress is set to play a lawyer in the series, for the first time in her three-decade-long career. The actress previously made her OTT debut with Renuka Shahane’s generational family drama film, Tribhanga, on Netflix.

The Good Wife - Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhoka is produced by Banijay Asia and directed by Suparn Verma, who previously worked as a writer in Amazon Prime Video’s hit series, The Family Man.
Kajol said she is excited about her web series debut with a show that allowed her to experiment and reinvent herself as an actress.
“I have been playing multiple characters throughout my acting journey, but the firsts are always special. The beauty of OTT platforms is that they give creators and actors an opportunity to reinvent and experiment with different formats, and with Disney+ Hotstar’s ‘The Good Wife’, that’s exactly what I got!” Kajol said, according to PTI.
“As a career first move, I will be playing a lawyer in my first ever series, directed by the fabulous Suparn. I’m excited to be sharing more about the show and the character I play, so stay tuned,” the actress added.
