Badhan makes Bollywood debut today

In a significant Bollywood development, Bangladeshi actress Azmeri Haque Badhan is making her debut in the Hindi film industry with "Khufiya," which is set to premiere today on the OTT platform Netflix.

Written, directed, and produced by Vishal Bhardwaj, Khufiya is a Netflix original neo-noir based on the espionage novel, "Escape to Nowhere", by Amar Bhushan, a former senior officer of the Indian Police Service. The film stars prominent Bollywood bigwigs, such as Tabu, Ashish Vidyarthi, and Ali Fazal, alongside Badhan. The movie has generated considerable buzz and anticipation amongst film enthusiasts.

Badhan plays a pivotal role in the film with limited screen time. When asked about her character, Rehana Maryam Noor's brightest star, Azmeri Haque Badhan, stated, "I have portrayed a very minor character in 'Khufiya'. I won't reveal much about it now, but I can say that I play the role of a Bangladeshi. That's why they sought an actress from Bangladesh."

The trailer of "Khufiya" was released last month, offering a glimpse into Badhan's character and the intrigue surrounding the film. In the 2-minute and 39-second trailer, glimpses of her character have already piqued the interest of fans.

The "Haider" famed director Vishal described the film as a contemporary action spy thriller, stating, "It's a unique thriller that hasn't been explored much in Indian cinema."

As "Khufiya" hits screens, fans are eagerly awaiting the cinematic experience that this espionage thriller promises to deliver.
