The trailer of Vishal Bharadwaj’s ‘Khufiya’, starring Tabu, Ali Fazal and Wamiqa Gabbi, has been released.
Netflix shared the official trailer of the film, which is based on a book called ‘Escape to Nowhere’, written by former Chief of the Counter Espionage Unit of R&AW, Amar Bhushan. The caption reads. ‘Yahan hathiyaar ke roop hain alag, aur jung hai khufiya. In a world of spies, the traitor must be brought to light. #Khufiya, streaming from Oct 5, only on Netflix!’
The trailer shows how there is a mole in the Research and Analysis Wing and Tabu is on a mission to find out who.
RAW agent Krishna Menon’s suspicion zeroes on Dev, who is played by Ali Fazal. She along with the other agents then begins to follow and monitor each and every moment of his life, which also includes his wife (played by Wamiqa Gabbi).
‘Khufiya’ reunites Tabu with the director Vishal Bhardwaj after ‘Maqbool’ (2003) and ‘Haider’ (2014). During Netflix's Films Day event, Vishal shared that he flipped the gender of the protagonist, originally a male character in Bhushan's 2012 book, because he didn't find it ‘exciting’ enough.
‘The film is based on Amar Bhushan espionage novel 'Escape to Nowhere', the character was male but it was not that exciting for me. When I thought of Tabu, the excitement was more and I changed the gender of the character. I found a reason to work with Tabu and I got that,’ he said.
‘Khufiya’ will be streaming on Netflix from October 5.
