We had previously reported that actor Yogalakshmi, who found fame through the JioHotstar series Heart Beat and the hit 2025 film Tourist Family, is returning to the streamer for an upcoming courtroom drama titled The Court with Jayaprakash. The makers have now unveiled the first teaser of the series which shows the actor battling a stutter while taking on her father in the court premises.
The teaser opens with Jayaprakash defending his client in court, asserting his innocence and seeking an adjournment in the case. The narrative then shifts to a flashback, where Yogalakshmi, dressed in a lawyer’s gown, practises her lines while looking into the camera. When her father, Jayaprakash, walks in, she expresses her ambition to become a top lawyer like him. However, he immediately discourages her, telling her that her stutter will “not only fail the law, but also fail his entire empire.”
In the present timeline, we see Jayaprakash’s second daughter practising law alongside him. Yogalakshmi, meanwhile, finds herself on the opposite side, firmly asserting that she will represent the case. This time, she appears to have overcome her stutter and is determined to prove herself.
The drama promises to explore the strained relationship between the father and daughter, the events that led to their fallout, and Yogalakshmi’s journey as she takes on her father and sets out to prove him wrong.
On the film front, she is working on an untitled film where she reunites with Abishan, in his acting sophomore after With Love. The film, produced by Balamurugan A under the Drama Company banner, stars Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar and Shivani Nagaram, of the Little Hearts fame.
Meanwhile, her first big-ticket film comes in the form of Arasan, where she collaborates with Silambarasan TR and Vetri Maaran for the first time. A film from the world of Dhanush-starrer Vada Chennai, it also stars Samuthirakani, Andrea, Pavan, and Kishore, who starred in prominent roles in the 2018 film.
The Court is set to premiere on JioHotstar from September 4.
