Khufiya teaser: Vishal Bhardwaj's next film promises secrets, shadows and suspense

The teaser of Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming Netflix project, Khufiya, is darkly lit, filled with intrigue and effectively builds up expectations. For once, it reveals neither the names nor faces of the characters. The eerie and catchy melody that is whistled in the teaser adds to the effect.

In the clip, a man walks up to a drawer in his office and takes out a file titled 'For Eyes Only'. The implied secrecy of the document is broken when he decides to make copies of it. This is underlined by Tabu's voiceover which states, "He did not just betray me. He also betrayed his country."

Based on Amar Bhushan's novel Escape to Nowhere, the film will star Tabu, Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi and Ashish Vidyarthi. The story revolves around Krishna Mehta, a RAW operative tasked with tracking down a mole. Her challenge of balancing her emotions and duty forms the crux of the story. 

The teaser was revealed as part of Netflix' celebration Tudum.
