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. It is directed by Sahir Raza. The drama tells the tale of a criminal lawyer giant who is untouched by the hands of his wrongdoings. However, the lead plays dirty to get the instigator off his throne. The web series on Voot Select released on May 12, 2020.

Watching #illegal @Officialneha you are incredibly real and convincing. Superb job 👏
