 "Ram Kapoor on his upcoming show 'Mistry' with Mona Singh: 'Every single episode has this chaos because...'")
Some detectives follow the rulebook. Armaan Mistry rewrites it. Premiering on June 27, 2025, on JioHotstar, Mistry is a uniquely chaotic blend of crime, comedy and heart. Mistry is the Indian adaptation of the multi-award-winning US series Monk. This dramedy is directed by Rishab Seth and produced by Banijay Asia in association with Universal International Studios. At its core is Ram Kapoor as the eccentric, compulsive, and brilliant detective Armaan Mistry, along with a stellar ensemble that includes Mona Singh, Shikha Talsania, and Kshitish Date.
To play a character as quirky and peculiar as Armaan Mistry, Ram Kapoor had to surrender to the chaos, both on-screen and off. Mistry doesn’t just look unpredictable, it was unpredictable, with high-energy scenes that threw the actors quite literally into the thick of things. By Day 3, Ram Kapoor had already been tossed into a scene so physically intense, it left him nursing a wrenched back and embracing the madness as part of the method.
Ram Kapoor shared, “Every single episode has this chaos because that’s what Mistry’s world is, it’s complete chaos. So right in the beginning, I think in the first two or three days itself, we got a taste of what it was going to be like. There was a sequence where I see a cockroach in my house and I completely panic. I take an insect repellent spray in my hand, then I chase, I find, I try to figure out where the hell the cockroach is. I’m looking under every corner, behind fridges, under sofas—everywhere. But to make things completely mad, they attached a body rig onto me, where the camera was fixed to my body. And wherever I was going, the camera was following me full frontal. So bending under tables, behind fridges, under sofas—with a huge camera attached to you—was very challenging. I wrenched my back quite badly in the process. I was in pain for two to three days. But then we realised—this is the process, and every episode is going to be like this. And when you guys see it, you’ll see there’s chaos in every episode. But that’s Mistry’s world.”
That’s what makes Mistry so electric — it’s not just written chaos, it’s lived-in chaos. Ram Kapoor doesn’t just perform the part; he physically throws himself into it, every twitch, every spiral, every case teetering on the edge of absurd brilliance.
Brace yourself for brilliance, bedlam and everything in between, Mistry begins streaming June 27, only on JioHotstar!
