Their post included pictures of clapboards from all three seasons. The last one showing a glimpse of Bajpayee shooting for Season 3.
The creators had already given fans a small treat earlier this June when they dropped the first look. That teaser confirmed not only the return of familiar faces like Priyamani as Suchitra, Sharib Hashmi as JK, Ashlesha Thakur as Dhriti, and Vedant Sinha as Atharv, but also new additions.
Actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Nimrat Kaur are joining the spy drama.
At the heart of the series is Bajpayee’s Srikant Tiwari. The character resonated because he is as ordinary as he is extraordinary. To his family, he is a stressed husband and father trying to balance middle-class responsibilities.
Secretly, he is also an intelligence officer with the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC), taking on dangerous missions for the nation.
