Vikram Bhatt’s upcoming web series Untouchables, a courtroom drama, has been inspired by true incidents, informs a source. The story revolves around Sreejita De’s character, a medical student who is an escort and gets embroiled in a murder trap of her wealthy client. Vikram plays a lawyer named Aakash Awasthi, who comes to her rescue. Sreejita’s character is based on a real life girl by the name of Amanda Knox, an American writer and activist who was in prison for four years post a wrongful conviction. Vikram’s daughter Krishna Bhatt who is directing the series came across the case and then developed the idea into a script adapting the struggle of Amanda for a 10-part series.
