'The Verdict - State Vs Nanavati' trailer is creating immense excitement amongst the audience for its unique narrative, a real life story based on 1959 Nanavati case which shook the entire nation by becoming a landmark judgement. Ekta Kapoor shares her experience by recreating and presenting the untold story based on true events to the audience.

Talking about the web show Ekta Kapoor shared, "The movies that have been based on the case [were] lacklustre, and [had a] one-sided view about a man who killed another man to protect his wife, and the nation. The jury went against what was probably legally right and supported a man who killed someone, because his wife was having an affair. [What wasn't considered in cinema] was that it was a consensual affair. Today, such an issue would be considered entirely personal.

We have finally removed the law that treated women as property. That was a time when women were treated badly and were not allowed to take decisions. We've also explored the aspect of [the wife] being a foreign national.

[The magazine] was criticised. There is a scene in the series that showcases the owner of a leading daily accusing the [magazine owner] of only attempting to make sales. The latter responds stating, 'Years later, you will do the same thing ".
