The OTT space is a universe of amazing content, and we have come to realize its potential just recently. But since then we have been acing the medium with amazing stories, and to add to that list comes yet another web series from Zee 5 called Mukhbir-The Story Of A Spy. Starring Zain Khan Durrani, Prakash Raj, Adil Hussain, Barkha Sengupta, Zoya Afroz, Harsh Chhaya, Satyadeep Mishra, and Karan Oberoi in pivotal roles, Mukhbir – The Story of a Spy is an inspiring story of India’s secret agent in Pakistan who rose to the occasion to save the nation and turn the tide of the war in his country’s favour. The show’s trailer just dropped in today and I totally loved it.
Watch the trailer here:
Mukhbir is directed by Shivam Nair and Jayprad Desai, and the eight-episode series will start streaming on 11th November. To give you a little glimpse, the series is inspired by true events and is the story of India’s secret agent who led India to evade several aggressive advances from the enemy country by providing intelligence and by helping India win the India-Pakistan 1965 war.
Talking about the show, Zain Khan Durrani says,
I could not have asked for a better project than Mukhbir to mark my OTT debut. I have grown up in Kashmir and have seen first-hand the challenges faced by the people during riots and wars so being a part of Mukhbir was even more emotional for me. The minute I read the script, I knew that I had to take it up as the character is so inspiring. The story not only explores his bravery but also his vulnerabilities which makes the character so endearing and real. I hope that the show strikes a chord with everyone connected to or belonging to our country.
Adil Hussain shares,
I am especially inclined towards stories which move the viewers and inspires them to go beyond the ordinary. Mukhbir is one such story which will appeal to every Indian across the globe. Also, it was exciting to work with the talented director duo of Shivam Nair and Jayprad Desai who have notable experience and expertise in this genre.
With a history of amazing projects like Naam Shabana and Special Ops, in this genre, Shivam and Jayprad have already left me very excited to watch this series.
