Overview

  • Emraan Hashmi promoted the series with a playful Instagram clip in which he mock-arrests a man before urging viewers to tune in.
  • Hashmi said he binge-read 4–5 episodes after Neeraj Pandey’s narration and was immediately sold on the show’s customs-focused concept.
  • The story follows a specialised team at Mumbai International Airport as it traces smuggling corridors through Al-Dera, Addis Ababa, Milan and Bangkok.
  • The ensemble features Hashmi as Arjun Meena with Amruta Khanvilkar, Nandish Singh Sandhu and Anurag Sinha, while Sharad Kelkar plays kingpin Bada Chaudhary.
  • Hashmi described the tone as a grounded take on heroism driven by discipline and duty, and he praised the customs department’s intricate, research-led work.
