Chillies to create groundbreaking content
out of India. It's exciting to deepen our
relationship with Red Chillies and expand
our slate of originals in India, said Reed

partnership to the Netflix Original series.
Gaurav Verma and our team at Red Chillies
have put it together and we can't wait to
bring this thrilling nail-biter to screens
around the world.
Set against the backdrop of the Indian
subcontinent, the multilingual series will tell
the story of an expelled spy, Kabir Anand
who is recalled from his new life as a
Shakespeare professor in Panchgani to save
his country and the long-lost love. 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 series will involve intricate, highly
stylised action sequences never before seen
on screen in India. The series will be shot
on location and the characters will interact
in Hindi, Urdu, English and other languages.
Netflix has already released its first Indian
web series with Sacred Games starring Saif
Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika
Apte. The show has received immense
appreciation from both critics and
audience.
