Salakaar is far from your average espionage drama. Inspired by true events, the series weaves an edge-of-your-seat story across two timelines — 1978 and 2025 — following the life of a master Indian spy. Tasked with a critical mission that could shift the balance of regional power, he uncovers a top-secret nuclear program brewing in Pakistan. What begins as a covert operation soon becomes a race against time, as buried secrets from the past threaten to explode in the present.
Directed by Faruk Kabir, known for his layered storytelling and tight thrillers, the show features a stellar cast including Mukesh Rishi and Surya Sharma in pivotal roles. While Mouni Roy steps into an emotionally complex character never seen before in her career, Naveen Kasturia plays the titular ‘Salakaar’ — a man of unmatched intelligence, living under constant threat in enemy territory.
The show’s teaser hints at a slick, atmospheric series where espionage is more than gunfire and chases — it’s about strategy, sacrifice, and the burden of truth. With powerful performances, haunting music, and a storyline that blends history with high-stakes drama, Salakaar promises to be both thought-provoking and thrilling.
Mark your calendars for August 8, and get ready to dive into the world of covert intelligence and untold heroism. Salakaar is not just another spy series — it's a tribute to those who serve silently, with brilliance as their weapon and the nation in their hearts.
