The genesis of ‘Kan Khajura’ traces back to the creative minds behind ‘Magpie’—Adam Bizanski, Omri Shenhar, and Dana Eden. The original show, lauded for its compelling narrative, clinched the Best Screenplay award at the prestigious Berlin TV Series festival in 2019. The show’s gripping plot revolves around Asa Katz, a man released from a 17-year prison sentence on the condition that he collaborates with the police as an informant—a role known as a “magpie,” which he previously held behind bars.

As Asa navigates the challenges of his reintegration into society, he grapples with the complexities of his relationship with his older brother, David, who harbors resentment towards him. ‘Kan Khajura’ promises to delve into the intricacies of Asa’s dual life, oscillating between his criminal past and his newfound alliance with law enforcement. The narrative unfolds in a tension-filled atmosphere, with conflicting interests pushing Asa into precarious situations, ultimately forcing him to tread a fine line between crime and cooperation with the police.

SonyLIV’s commitment to delivering high-quality adaptations is evident in ‘Kan Khajura,’ which follows in the footsteps of successful remakes like ‘Fauda’ and ‘Your Honor.’ With a talented cast, a compelling storyline, and the proven success of its source material, ‘Kan Khajura’ is poised to become a must-watch for fans of gripping and thought-provoking drama. Stay tuned as the Indian adaptation of ‘Magpie’ takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of suspense, emotions, and moral dilemmas.
