Over the years, Nikam has become a household name for representing the prosecution in some of the most high-profile and challenging criminal cases in the country. His journey from the courtroom to becoming a national figure makes him an ideal subject for the big screen.

Preparations are already underway, with the team finalising important creative decisions and key cast members.

According to a report in Pinkvilla, actress Wamiqa Gabbi has been roped in as the female lead for the project.

The paperwork with the duo is done, and they are looking to do multiple rounds of acting workshops in the month of September, before taking the film on floors in October.” The report further added that both Rajkummar and Wamiqa will undergo physical transformations to bring authenticity to their roles. “Ujjwal Nikam biopic celebrates the legacy of one of the greatest lawyers of our generation, and will focus on his controversial case proceedings of the 1993 Bombay Blasts as well as the 2008 Mumbai Train Attacks,” the report revealed.
