Makers have dropped the trailer for ZEE5’s latest feature, Berlin. The spy thriller is led by a starry ensemble cast including Aparshakti Khurana, Ishwak Singh, Rahul Bose, Anupriya Goenka, and Kabir Bedi.

The film is set in a politically charged atmosphere of 1990s New Delhi and will premiere on September 13.

What is the plotline of Berlin?

Berlin is set in the frigid winter of 1993 Delhi. Berlin unfolds as a tense espionage thriller when authorities arrest a deaf-mute young man [Ishwak Singh] on suspicion of being a foreign spy. The case takes a complex turn as a skilled sign language expert [Aparshakti Khurana] is brought in to interpret, only to find himself drawn into a web of intrigue. With accusations of aiding a notorious spy [Anupriya Gonenka], the truth becomes elusive, and an intelligence officer [Rahul Bose] races against time to uncover it. But as rival agencies and unseen forces conspire, a startling revelation turns the case upside down: could the real spy be someone hiding in plain sight?

Berlin has already made a name for itself as it captivated audiences at several international film festivals, such as MAMI, Stars Asian International Film Festival in Los Angeles and the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne.

Aparshakti Khurana, who plays the sign language expert, shared his thoughts on the project. He said, "Berlin is a film with which I am emotionally connected as it really brought out the best in me. Atul Sabharwal pulled me out of my comfort zone and threw me in such a challenging world. It's like being the wildcard in a high-stakes poker game where every player holds a secret. Trust me, this isn't your typical binge-watch – it's a mind-bending puzzle that'll have you playing detective from your couch. It’s a character and a role I have never explored before… so, get ready for a surprise. 'Berlin' is where the laughs stop, and the intensity begins."

Ishwak Singh, who portrays the deaf-mute character, shared his experience:“From the word go I knew this was a special film. I found the character and the story very intriguing and much like the plot it was a mystery how I would crack it. I trusted my instincts and believed in Atul Sabharwal’s vision and things just fell in place."
