Berlin is billed as a spy thriller set against the backdrop of 1990s New Delhi. The film promises to tell an engrossing tale of undercover activities, deceit, and moral ambiguity.
Berlin takes viewers into the icy winters of the 1990sin Delhi, where a silent storm of espionage is brewing. The story revolves around three main characters whose lives are about to collide in unexpected ways. Ishwak Singh will be seen in an unusual yet challenging role - a deaf-mute young man accused of being a foreign spy.
Aparshakti Khurana will be seen as a sign language expert tasked with unlocking the secrets hidden in silence. Anupriya Goenka adds fuel to the fire as an enigmatic agent, her true loyalties shrouded in mystery.
Meanwhile, Rahul Bose races against time as an intelligence officer, fighting not just external threats but also the shadows within his own agency.
