Khufiya teaser: The interesting, ominous first trailer for Vishal Bhardwaj’s spy thriller for Netflix, stars Tabu and Ali Fazal

The spy thriller directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Tabu and Ali Fazal’s debut trailer offers very little insight into the story.

With Khufiya, Vishal Bhardwaj’s forthcoming movie starring Tabu and Ali Fazal among others will bring his distinctive dark thriller genre to Netflix. As part of its Films’ Day celebration in Mumbai, the OTT streaming platform unveiled the first look trailer of the movie on Monday. Fans had many questions after watching the teaser, which is only 47 seconds long and contains no storyline details.

Tabu is shown gazing off into the horizon at the start of the teaser, which has a frightening and unsettling background soundtrack. Several more characters from the movie, such as Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi, Azmeri Haque Badhon, and Ashish Vidyarthi, are then revealed in a montage. A person (perhaps Tabu) is seen standing in the background while Ali makes a quick two-second cameo on screen and is heard chuckling. A blurry image of Tabu smoking a cigarette appears towards the end of the teaser. The teaser doesn’t contain any dialogue.
