OLLYWOOD actress Sonakshi Sinha
has said that her upcoming streaming movie System reflects the society
that we live in. The trailer of the film was
unveiled recently, and it showcases Sonakshi
essaying a lawyer in riveting courtroom setup.
The gripping courtroom thriller challenges a system where power defines the
truth. It is directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari,
and it captures the universal themes of
ambition, revenge, fight for justice, and
moral ethics.
Sonakshi Sinha, who plays Neha, an ambitious public prosecutor, shared, “Playing
this character has been deeply rewarding.
I’m always drawn to stories that challenge
me as an actor, and Prime Video has given
me the opportunity to explore diverse genres and themes, from Dahaad to now System.
This original movie is more than just a legal
drama; it reflects the society we live in, where
justice can sometimes be as divided as the
social structures around us. Ashwiny’s clear
vision helped me bring out my best and I’m
excited to see how audiences respond when
System premieres".
The trailer for System opens with Neha, a determined
young lawyer played by Sonakshi
Sinha, taking on a tough
challenge from her father
(played by Ashutosh
Gowariker) to be
worthy of a partnership in his
firm. To pull it
off, she

( p l a y e d
by
Jyotika), a
street-smart courtroom stenographer, who
secretly harbors motives of her own.
What
follows is a fast-moving glimpse into intense
courtroom battles, messy relationships, and
some powerful moments.
Jyotika, who essays the role of Sarika, a
courtroom stenographer, said, “Portraying
such a layered character in System was both
exciting and challenging. The film explores
the contrasts of modern India, where privilege and inequality co-exist. Ashwiny brings
a clear and engaging vision to the story, from
well-developed characters to realistic settings. Being part of a Prime Original movie
has been a great experience. Prime Video is
known for sharing meaningful stories with
audiences across India and globally, and I
am certain 'System' will resonate with everyone".
The film is written by Harman Baweja, Arun
Sukumar, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Tasneem
Lokhandwala, and Akshat Ghildial. The
film also stars Jyotika, and Ashutosh
Gowariker, Preeti Agarwal, Addinath
Kothare, Aashriya Mishra, Gaurav Pandey,
and Sayandeep Sengupta.
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari said, “I believe
there are innumerable stories that surround us but
bringing them to life on screen authentically and creatively, is tough. I love to challenge myself and that’s
why System came into existence. I am thrilled that
Prime Video believed in my vision for this intriguing story about how justice can feel different depending on where you stand in society. With Sonakshi
Sinha and Jyotika, two powerful women protagonists at the heart of the narrative, I am confident
that this original movie will not only entertain but
also spark cultural conversations among viewers
in India and around the world”.
Produced by Pammi Baweja, Harman Baweja,
and Smitha Baliga, System will drop on May 22
on Prime Video.
