are
reuniting
once
again;
this
time
for
a
spy
thriller
titled
Khufiya
which
will
release
on

The
film
inspired
by
true

is
based
on
an
espionage

'Escape
To
Nowhere'
by

Bhushan.
Besides

the
thriller

Vidyarthi
in
pivotal
roles.
An
elated
Tabu
took
to
her
Instagram
page
to
make
this
announcement
and
wrote,
"Expect
nothing
but
sheer
thrill.
Excited
to
announce
my

took
to
his

"Justice
gets
personal.
I'm
extremely
thrilled
to
share
Khufiya
with
you,
a
spy
thriller
inspired
by
true
events.
Coming
soon,
only
on
Netflix."
The
filmmaker
expressed
his
excitement
about
the
film
and
said,
"With
Khufiya,
my
attempt
is
to
create
an
edgy
espionage
film
that
contrasts
the
slow
burn
of
intelligence
and
surveillance
work
with
one's
deep
rooted
emotional
conflicts."
In
a
chat
with
Hindustan
Times,
he
spilled
the
beans
about
this
thriller's
shooting
schedule
and
revealed,
"It
is
my
first
web
project
and
I
am
very
excited
about
it.
Around
70%
of
the
film
will
be
shot
in
the
national
capital,
and
the
rest
in
the
US."
Meanwhile,
Tabu
is
excited
to
reunite
with
Vishal
on
this
project
and
said,
"Khufiya
is
a
one
of
a
kind
project,
extremely
close
to
my
heart
and
I
am
excited
to
be
a
part
of
this
gripping
spy
thriller.
As
always,
it's
a
delight
working
with
Vishal
Bhardwaj
again,
and
feels
like
homecoming."
Khufiya
revolves
around
Krishna
Mehra,
a
RAW
operative
who
is
assigned
to
track
down
the
mole
selling
India's
defence
secrets,
all
along
grappling
her
dual
identity
of
a
spy
and
a
lover.
