Espionage thrillers always make for an intriguing watch, and they are made all the more better when set against the backdrop of real events. The upcoming thriller series, Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy, promises to be just that.
What is Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy about?
Set against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, the trailer of the series hints at a story where the nation’s leaders are in the midst of a struggle as they are unable to get intel from the tumultuous war zone. As they start to get more and more desperate, one of them suggests the name of a unique ‘asset’- a spy who is sent on a covert undercover mission to the enemy country. The series is an adaptation of the novel, Mission to Kashmir: An Intelligent Agent in Pakistan, written by Maloy Dhar.
Who are the cast and crew behind Mukhbir - The Story of a Spy?
Zain Khan Durrani stars as the spy who is tasked with a covert mission to Pakistan. In conversation with OTTplay, Zain had referred to his character as an ‘unlikely’ spy. “There is no typical habit in his overall behaviour that would make you point out that he is a spy, when you see him in a crowd", the actor had said of his character.
Prakash Raj, Adil Hussain, Barkha Sengupta, Zoya Afroz, Harsh Chhaya, Satyadeep Mishra and Karan Oberoi also star in the series, helmed by Shivam Nair and Jayprad Desai. The series was written by Arshad Sayyed and Vaibhav Modi.
