Ever since I saw the teaser of Vishal Bhardwaj‘s spy thriller titled Khufiya, I have been eager to know more about the story. The reason why this film already has my attention is because it is the coming together of some fine actors like Tabu and Ali Fazal. Other than that, the 2 minute long teaser from the film, totally managed to build the suspense for me. Now the great news is that both Tabu and Ali have flown to Canada to wrap up the film’s final schedule. Other than Tabu and Ali, Khufiya also stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Ashish Vidyarthi. Directed and produced by Vishal Bhardwaj gives us quite an edgy peek in the shadowy world of spies.
Watch Khufiya’s teaser here:
As per a press statement, the film’s final schedule was to commence on January, but it had to be pushed due to the onset of Omicron variant marking the third wave. But that is all the past and I am only happy that its roll sound, camera and action once again for this film. Wamiqa is said to join the team in Canada soon and as soon as the film wraps up, it will go in edit as the makers plan to release it by the end of this year on Netflix India. For those who don’t know Khufiya is based on Amar Bhushan‘s book Escape To Nowhere.
Well, individually, both Ali and Tabu have delivered some impactful performances. After impressing me in Death On The Nile, Ali has an interesting line up with Fukrey 3, Happy Ab Bhag Jayegi and Kandahar. Where as Tabu, left me smitten with her performance in A Suitable Boy, she has lots of amazing films coming up, namely, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Kuttey, Bholaa and Drishyam 2.
Now with two fine actors joining forces with a maverick director, my hopes with Khufiya only hits the roof. I am quite excited to know more details about this one and I am sure, you are too.
