Mumbai, Feb 4: Manoj Bajpayee is set to return to the role of a police officer in the gripping thriller Ghooskhor Pandat, which was announced at the Netflix India Slate event in Mumbai on Tuesday. The teaser for the film was shared on Netflix India's official Instagram account, giving fans a first look at Bajpayee's character in the series.

Ghooskhor Pandat, written by Neeraj Pandey and directed by Ritesh Shah, follows the story of a morally bankrupt cop, Ajay Dikshit (played by Bajpayee). The logline of the movie reveals that Ajay’s plans for an eventful, money-making night are disrupted when he finds himself caught in a global conspiracy. The turning point comes when he discovers a badly injured girl, thrown out of a moving car in the heart of Delhi. As Ajay accompanies the girl to the hospital, he gets tangled in a web of events far larger than he could have anticipated.

In a statement, the team behind Ghooskhor Pandat shared: “This is a one-night thriller set in Delhi, where the corrupt police officer Ajay Dikshit is dragged into a series of unpredictable situations. The film revolves around a pivotal moment when a girl is thrown out of a car, and Ajay’s involvement in her journey to the hospital sets off a chain of events. With Manoj Bajpayee leading the film, Ghooskhor Pandat promises a fast-paced, action-driven narrative. We’re excited to partner with Netflix to bring this story to audiences worldwide.”

At the same event, Netflix also revealed another exciting project: a legal drama titled Ikka, which reunites Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna after more than two decades. Ikka tells the story of an incorruptible lawyer who is coerced into defending a man he had once ruined professionally. The intense legal drama pushes him to use every trick in the book to win the case, risking everything he holds dear.

The first look of Ikka showcases Sunny Deol as the lawyer, seen shouting in a courtroom and confronting Akshaye Khanna’s character, an accused murderer, during an intense session at the police station.

Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, Ikka also stars Tillotama Shome and Dia Mirza in pivotal roles. Other cast members include Sanjeeda Shaikh, Shishir Sharma, and Akansha Ranjan.

Both Ghooskhor Pandat and Ikka are set to offer compelling narratives and performances, with Netflix providing a global platform for these highly anticipated films.
