It's a court drama that not only entertains – it stimulates thought, challenges norms and reflects realities that many are reluctant to face. What makes us more thrilled is that this story, which is rooted in Kerala, now speaks to the entire nation. The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Speaking on the occasion, Suresh Gopi said, "The response to 'Janaki V v/s State of Kerala' in theatres has been immensely emotional and it is clear that the audience has received the story with love. I am very grateful for the faith they have placed in our storytelling and I can't wait for the world to experience it now in ZEE5. If this step is taken to digital, Janaki's voice, her struggle, her pain and her courage will eventually reach homes across India."

Actress Anupama Parameswaran said, "The role of Janaki has been one of the most emotionally demanding and rewarding journeys of my career. He was a symbol of countless unheard voices, and I felt immense responsibility in bringing his story to life with sincerity and compassion. The love and support we received when it was released in theatres was overwhelming, and now, I am incredibly excited that audiences across the country will experience the state of Janaki V/S Kerala in ZEE5. It's a story of talking to the soul – about strength, resilience and standing up even when the world tries to silence you. I hope Janaki's courage inspires everyone who watches."
