Mistry trailer gets thumbs up from netizens 

The makers of Mistry released the trailer of the show on June 9. In the 1 minute 45 seconds clip, Ram Kapoor appears as Armaan Mistry, a genius detective who solves complex crimes while battling his problem with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). His condition makes him eccentric to the other members of the Mumbai police department. Despite the oddities, Armaan's unique approach to his work and spot-on identification of the victims of crime leave the top cops baffled. Shikha Talsania appears in the role of Sharanya, Armaan's assistant, and Mona Singh plays top Mumbai officer, Sehmat.

During the pre-release event of Mistry, Ram Kapoor landed in hot soup after he was accused of passing “inappropriate comments” towards females under the guise of humour. According to Mid-day, tired from back-to-back promotional interviews, the actor remarked that he feels “gang-raped”. Additionally, he also made a sexist comment on a female executive representing the team of JioHotstar. He implied getting ‘distracted’ by the length of her dress. In an official statement on June 19, JioHotstar stressed, “The platform wants to distance itself from any behaviour that normalises workplace misconduct.” As a result, Ram Kapoor has been asked to sit out the promotions of Mistry.
