The official trailer for Advocate Chauhan has arrived, introducing a bold new direction for Punjabi web series. Starring Nav Bajwa as a visually impaired lawyer, the series also features Himanshi Khurana and Gurpreet Ghuggi. Directed by Varinder Ramgarhia and written by Nav Bajwa with screenplay and dialogues by Kumar Ajay, Advocate Chauhan is set to premiere on Chaupal on 27 August 2026. The central idea is clear and compelling: in a legal system shaped by power, wealth, and corruption, one man who cannot see still finds a way to deliver uncompromising justice.

Justice Is Blind — and So Is Chauhan
The trailer opens with a powerful parallel. Chauhan notes that the law is blind, and so is he. This simple observation becomes the foundation of the series. Nav Bajwa plays Advocate Chauhan, a lawyer living with an optic nerve condition that has severely limited his vision. Rather than treating blindness as a limitation that defines him, the character uses heightened senses, sharp intellect, and an unshakable sense of justice to navigate the courtroom.
The story unfolds in a world where high-profile cases, family conflicts, and moral ambiguity collide. Scenes from the trailer show tense courtroom exchanges, accusations of murder, and the constant pressure of a system that often protects the powerful. Chauhan does not rely on spectacle. He relies on preparation, observation, and an ability to cut through the noise that surrounds every major case.
Himanshi Khurana appears as a young lawyer determined to prove herself in this high-stakes environment. Gurpreet Ghuggi brings his established screen presence to a supporting role that adds both weight and texture to the legal world the series builds. The ensemble is large, reflecting the many layers of influence, pressure, and personal stake that surround courtroom battles.
A Cast Ready for High-Stakes Drama
The series brings together a mix of familiar and supporting talent:
| Actor | Role / Contribution |
|---|---|
| Nav Bajwa | Advocate Chauhan – visually impaired lawyer |
| Himanshi Khurana | Young lawyer (Rashi Khanna) |
| Gurpreet Ghuggi | Key supporting role |
| Kumar Ajay | Supporting role / screenplay & dialogues |
| Gurvinder Gauri, Gurjant Singh Marahar, Sukhbirr Gill, Aman Singh Deep, Priya Arora and others | Ensemble filling the legal and personal world |
Nav Bajwa also wrote the story, drawing inspiration from the real-life journey of lawyer Aanchal Bhateja. The decision to center a visually impaired protagonist in a courtroom drama is uncommon in Punjabi content, and early reactions suggest audiences are responding to the freshness of the concept.
Why the Concept Stands Out
Punjabi cinema and web series have long excelled at comedy, romance, and action. Advocate Chauhan deliberately steps into more serious territory. Comments under the trailer repeatedly note the comparison to Daredevil — a blind hero who operates in a corrupt system and refuses to look away from injustice. While the series is rooted in the legal world rather than vigilantism, the core idea of a character whose disability becomes a source of focused strength resonates strongly.
The trailer emphasizes atmosphere and tension over pure action. Courtroom sequences feel charged. Personal stakes appear intertwined with professional ones. Chauhan’s blindness is treated with seriousness rather than sentimentality. The character must work harder, listen more carefully, and rely on evidence and instinct in equal measure. That approach gives the series a distinctive identity within the current wave of Punjabi OTT content.
Production values look solid for a web series. Cinematography by Sheikh Yousuf and editing by Krishna Rodge support a grounded, intense tone. Background music by Salil Amrute helps sustain the dramatic undercurrent. The series is produced by Naman Hanjra under Chaupal Studios in association with Nav Bajwa Films.
August 27 on Chaupal
Advocate Chauhan arrives on Chaupal on 27 August 2026. The platform has steadily built a library of Punjabi, Haryanvi, and Bhojpuri content, and this series represents another step toward more ambitious storytelling. Nav Bajwa has spoken about the physical and creative challenges of playing a character with limited vision, describing the process of learning to inhabit a world he could not simply observe with his eyes.
For audiences looking for something different from the usual mix of comedy and mass entertainment, the trailer offers a clear invitation. It promises courtroom tension, moral complexity, and a central character who refuses to accept that justice is only for those with power or money. Whether the series can sustain that promise across its full run will depend on the writing and performances, but the foundation is strong.
Nav Bajwa takes a risk by choosing a role that demands both physical commitment and emotional restraint. Himanshi Khurana steps into a competitive professional space as a young lawyer finding her footing. Gurpreet Ghuggi anchors the supporting cast. Together they introduce a Punjabi web series that treats the courtroom as a battleground where truth is hard-won and never guaranteed.
On 27 August, Advocate Chauhan will ask viewers to follow a blind lawyer into the shadows of a system that prefers to keep its secrets. Justice may be blind. Chauhan intends to make sure it is not silent.
