With Monica Mogre Case Files, it is our endeavor to make every woman aware of her susceptibility to eminent danger in the face of such evil forces. Along with that we are also suggesting some recommendations for a safer life ahead. We have the indomitable Mahesh Manjrekar essaying the negative lead in the 1st series followed by Jimmy Shergill in the next. In fact we have a solid line up of negative characters to give the required impetus to our storylines.”
