Kapoor steps into the role of Armaan Mistry, a detective known for his brilliance and unusual approach to solving crimes. Mona Singh plays ACP Sehmat Siddiqui, with Shikha Talsania and Kshitish Date in supporting roles. The series reimagines Monk for Indian audiences, retaining its focus on a quirky central character navigating complex investigations.
Deepak Dhar, Founder & Group CEO, Banijay Asia & Endemol Shine India, said, “Mistry is a seamless blend of crime, humour and heart. It is also a very character-driven show, and we have put our best foot forward to make our protagonist, Armaan Mistry, portrayed by Ram, hit all the right chords.”
Linfield Ng, VP, Format Sales & Production, NBCUniversal Formats, said, “It’s always exciting to see a format as iconic as Monk take on new life. Ram Kapoor brings real charisma and depth to Armaan Mistry, and together with the rest of the cast, the series promises something truly special.”
Director Rishab Seth noted, “Mistry was such a unique and fulfilling experience. Ever since I came on board, I was excited to dive right in as it is such an interesting premise and an even more interesting character to explore. Ram has done absolute justice to our vision of Armaan Mistry and the rest of the cast – Mona, Shikha, Kshitish – have added so much value to the overall story.”
Ram Kapoor said, “Armaan Mistry is a character unlike any I’ve played before. The whole experience of shooting Mistry was so immersive – I have deep dived into this character and understood his quirks, his brilliance and his vulnerabilities. It is a character very close to my heart and I am thrilled with how it has come out.”
