R Madhavan is equally formidable, delivering a controlled yet intense performance. Ananya Panday, as Sankaran's co-counsel Dilreet Gill and a catalyst in the legal battle, is impactful. Her portrayal blends realism with nervousness as she takes on the mighty Empire, transforming from a hesitant first-timer in court to a fiery cross-examiner in a key sequence. "
