Khufiya, the spy thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj starring Tabu, Ali Fazal, and Wamiqa Gabbi, is set to release on October 5 exclusively on Netflix.
Reuniting the iconic Vishal Bhardwaj and Tabu duo, Khufiya premieres on October 5, wholly on Netflix. This extraordinary spy-thriller is inspired by real-life events and is founded on a book, Escape to Nowhere, written by the former Chief of the Counter Espionage Unit of R&AW, Amar Bhushan. The film takes audiences on a gripping journey into the mysterious world of love, unfaithfulness, and everything Khufiya.
Featuring a stellar and versatile cast including Tabu, Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Azmeri Haque Badhon, Khufiya follows an R&AW operative, Krishna Mehra, who is allotted a crucial mission that leaves her juggling between her dual identity as a spy and a lover.

Khufiya Release date announcement promo
On Thursday, Netflix India took to Instagram to column a promo that cleverly announced the release date of the spy thriller. It sees Tabu’s spy character from the flick asking her colleague to zoom into the CCTV footage of what gives the impression of a secret camera. We see a ‘khufiya’ character send a secret memorandum via fax. When we zoom in, we see the fax paper reveal the date of the film: October 5.
Netflix India’s title with the promo reads, “Kuch raaz, raaz hi rahe to behtar hai (Some secrets are better kept using secrets). But not this one (eyes emoji).”
Khufiya is Tabu and Vishal’s third film together
Tabu and Vishal’s onscreen partnership goes back two decades to the latter’s 2003 gangster drama Maqbool, which starred Tabu opposite Irrfan Khan. They collaborated for the 2014 crime drama Haider, in which Tabu played the mother of the titular character Haider, played by Shahid Kapoor. These films were editions of William Shakespeare’s classic plays Macbeth and Hamlet, respectively.
Besides the two directorials of Vishal, Tabu has also been represented in Meghna Gulzar’s 2015 whodunit, co-written by Vishal. Earlier this year, she was also a part of Vishal’s son Aasman Bhardwaj’s organizational debut, Kuttey.
At the teaser launch of Khufiya last year, when Vishal was asked what the secret sauce to his explosive onscreen collaboration with Tabu is, he replied that it’s “love.”
