Maniesh Paul on his OTT debut Rafuchakkar: Feels the right step as an actor after JugJugg Jeeyo

Actors Maniesh Paul and Priya Bapat will be seen in the upcoming series Rafuchakkar, which will be premiering on JioCinema on June 15.

Rafuchakkar follows the story of Prince, a cunning conman with a golden touch who specialises in swindling the rich and corrupt. However, his luck takes a turn when he is captured by Shaurya Chautala (Aksha Pardasany), an ambitious Crime Branch officer. The tables are turned when Prince finds himself facing Ritu Bhandari (Priya Bapat), the toughest and most renowned lawyer in town.

As the court battle ensues, it becomes increasingly unclear whether Prince is the true swindler, or an innocent caught in a web of deceit.

Maniesh said: "After JugJugg Jeeyo, Rafuchakkar feels the right step as an actor. I love the challenge to push my boundaries and mould myself into different characters. And I have been fortunate enough to experiment with five characters in one for Rafuchakkar, especially as it marks my digital debut as well..."

Priya added: "Working on Rafuchakkar was an exciting experience. It offered me the opportunity to portray the role of a lawyer, which was a fresh and exciting challenge for me. I thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the nuances of body language and courtroom etiquette. Crafting lengthy courtroom speeches was particularly demanding, but thanks to the support of an exceptional team, the journey was incredibly smooth."

The series is presented by Jio Studios - produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Arjun Singgh Baran, and Kartk D Nishandar (GSEAMS) and is directed by Ritam Srivastav.
