But Tanuj does not see that as an issue. He says, “Like a quality dal, it takes time to cook. A good meal always takes time.”Apoorva echoes the sentiment, adding that with this show, it is essential to portray the lead character’s (played by Shefali Shah) journey and growth over time. “I think it’s important to acknowledge that good things take good time to make, specifically writing and then editing. With this franchise from S1 to S2 to S3, the ensemble has also gone through their own life journeys, which you will see in this season. This season is all about growth. For that to feel real and if she (Shefali’s character) has to grow, you excuse the time span,” she says.On Huma Qureshi's villainSeason 3 features an antagonist who takes centre stage alongside the cops, a first for Delhi Crime. Huma Qureshi plays Meena, who runs a human trafficking ring in Haryana, and is someone whose plans Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali) and her team must foil. Talking about making the character powerful without glamourising it, Tanuj says, “If people are enticed by her, it’s a good thing. That means they are watching. Some of my favourite villains are enticing. There’s a difference between sensationalism and engagement. You have to push and get as much as you can, but then make some tasteful choices.”Delhi Crime season 3 also stars Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, Sayani Gupta, Mita Vashisht, Anshumaan Pushkar, and Kelly Dorji. The popular show returns to Netflix on 13 November.
