Delhi Crime 3: Creator Richie Mehta's Hands-Off Approach

Richie Mehta, the acclaimed creator of the inaugural season of 'Delhi Crime,' continues to be recognized as the visionary behind the franchise, even as the third season unfolds. Director Tanuj Chopra confirmed that Mehta, while credited, has maintained a hands-off approach, allowing the current team to navigate the narrative independently. Chopra noted that he has consulted Mehta for advice on specific points, valuing his input and mentorship.

Mehta's foundational work in establishing the show's distinct world and characters in the first season is deeply admired by Chopra. Their shared history as independent filmmakers further strengthens their connection. Chopra asserts that Mehta's creator credit is a rightful acknowledgment of his foundational role in building the 'Delhi Crime' universe, rather than a mere marketing strategy, despite his limited direct involvement in recent seasons.

This latest installment of 'Delhi Crime' delves into the critical issue of human trafficking, presenting a multi-layered narrative of exploitation. The investigation into cases like the baby Falak incident, inspired by DCP Chhaya Sharma's work, reveals extensive trafficking networks. The storyline's progression required the Delhi police to extend their operations beyond the city, highlighting the trans-regional nature of such crimes.
