Vishal Bhardwaj’s espionage thriller Khufiya will be streaming from October 5.
Khufiya starring Tabu, Ali Fazal and Wamiqa Gabbi is one of the most highly anticipated Vishal Bhardwaj’s films. The makers had released a video earlier that already left the fans excited. The film which is set to premiere on Netflix has finally got a release date. Not only that, the makers released the trailer on Monday, giving a glimpse into the world of Khufiya.
The two minute, 30 seconds trailer aptly sums up why Khufiya is a tale of love, loyalty, revenge and betrayal. From the glimpse, it’s about a R&AW agent who is on a mission to nab an individual, who is leaking confidential information from the department.
With Tabu being the investigator of the case and Ali Fazal being her prime suspect, the story promises multiple layers of mystery behind the prime conspirator. Whether the identity of the supposed ‘traitor’ is as easy to find out, that’s for the viewers to determine.

It also marks my partnership with Netflix and I cannot wait to share this thrilling story with viewers across 190 countries.”
