Emraan
Hashmi
has
been
roped
in
for
a
Netflix
original
series
and
it
is
produced
by
none
other
than
Shahrukh
Khan!
The
series
is
based
on
an
adaptation
of
Bilal
Siddiqui's
The
Bard
Of
Blood.
Netflix
announced
about
the
new
series
today
(July
27,
2018)
on
their
official
Twitter
handle.
The
tweet
read,
"God
has
given
you
one
face
and
you
make
another.
Emraan
Hashmi
is
Kabir
Anand
in
'The
Bard
of
Blood'!".
Actor
Emraan
Hashmi
has
confirmed
the
news
too.
The
actor
tweeted,
"'To
be,
or
not
to
be'...
The
answer
is
to
be.
Ready
'to
be'
Kabir
Anand.
Excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
thrilling
journey!".
The
series
is
set
against
the
backdrop
of
the
Indian
subcontinent.
It
talks
about
the
story
of
a
spy
Kabir
Anand
who
is
recalled
from
his
new
life
to
save
his
country
and
his
long
lost
love
interest.
A
combination
of
combat
skills,
intellectual
background
and
personal
circumstances
propel
Kabir
to
avenge
the
past
and
face
his
deadliest
enemies
in
a
race
against
time.
The
Bard
of
Blood
is
a
thriller
and
the
kind
of
story
that
has
never
been
penned
in
India.
It
is
unique
in
terms
of
its
storyline
and
characterization
when
compared
with
international
books
of
different
genres.
Emraan
is
currently
busy
shooting
for
his
forthcoming
film
Cheat
India
in
Lucknow.
When
asked
why
he
chose
to
act
in
the
film,
he
said,
"The
script
and
title
of
Cheat
India
are
supremely
powerful.
This
is
among
the
most
engaging
and
riveting
stories
I've
read
in
a
while
and
I
am
thrilled
to
be
essaying
what
I
believe
will
be
a
landmark
role
in
my
filmography.
I
am
also
looking
forward
to
working
with
some
formidable
partners
-
Soumik,
an
amazing
storyteller."
The

the
film
