This series has set a benchmark and I am confident that S3 will shake things up further as it is unlike anything you have seen before."I cannot reveal much, however my character which has an alter ego will give Abhay's character a tough time in this season".Rahul added that 'Abhay' is a very successful franchise with a loyal fan following so I am happy to be a part of this unconventional series."I am grateful that I could be a part of this series and I await the audience's response to it".
Vidya shared that there were many reasons why she wanted to work in 'Abhay 3'.She said: "One of the main ones being, the character I play - Nidhi.

I am excited for the world to watch S3 as I know that it's going to be another successful addition to the franchise".Actor Kunal Kemmu will return as the investigating officer, Abhay Pratap Singh who has the mind of a criminal and can go to any extent to solve a case.
