Tabu's spy thriller ‘Khufiya’ to release on Netflix October 5

Tabu and Vishal Bhardwaj make for one of the most combustible combinations in Hindi cinema. Their new film, a spy thriller called Khufiya, will be released on Netflix India on October 5.

Netflix India took to Instagram on Thursday to post a promo that cleverly announced the release date of the spy thriller. It sees Tabu's spy character from the film asking her colleague to zoom into the CCTV footage of what seems like a secret camera. We see a ‘khufiya’ character send a secret message via a fax machine. When we zoom in, we see the fax paper reveal the date of the film: October 5.

Netflix India's caption with the promo read, “Kuch raaz, raaz hi rahe to behtar hai (Some secrets are better kept as secrets). But not this one (eyes emoji).”

The neo-noir spy thriller is based on Amar Bhushan's espionage novel Escape to Nowhere. It also stars Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Ashish Vidyarthi. Out of these, Wamiqa has previously collaborated with Vishal for his short film in the Prime Video India anthology Modern Love Mumbai last year and his short film earlier this year, Fursat, opposite Ishaan Khatter.
