“It (the film) has come out really well,” the 50-year-old actress told PTI in an interview. It’s thrilling, but different, like a classic Vishal film with his signature touch. We also have a fantastic ensemble cast, and it was so much fun collaborating with them. It is a personal film for all of us because we shot it quietly in Delhi, then in Canada. It’s a world that will, hopefully, pull you in.”

Further, she told, “Khufiya is a passion project of Bhardwaj and it was conceptualized long ago but only went on floors last year due to Covid 19 pandemic. It’s the world of intelligence, agents, espionage but not like a regular spy thriller that you’ve seen”.
