Menon shared the teaser on social media and wrote that Himmat Singh has returned. He hinted at the plot going back to a timeline of the past.

According to The Indian Express, director Neeraj Pandey recently talked about the show: “We have always envisioned Special Ops as a multi-layered franchise which would be leveraged on characters, scale and format innovation."

The filmmaker mentioned that the prospect of expanding this universe with Special Ops 1.5: The Himmat Story on Disney+ Hotstar is exciting.

Meanwhile, producer Shital Bhatia said that shooting the series during the lockdown while keeping the scale and the production aesthetics high was extremely challenging.

Special Ops 1.5, which also stars Aadil Khan, Gautami Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Parmeet Sethi and KP Mukherjee, is coming soon on the digital streamer. A release date is yet to be announced.
