JioHotstar has officially announced the release of its latest original series Salakaar, a powerful espionage drama set to premiere on August 15, aligning with the spirit of Independence Day. Produced by Sphereorigins and Mahir Films, the series offers a gripping look into the covert life of a national hero whose intelligence and courage shaped the fate of the country.
A Story of Secrets, Strategy, and Sacrifice
Salakaar is structured around two parallel timelines—one chronicling a high-risk mission and the other delving into past events that reveal the emotional depth of the protagonist’s journey. Director Faruk Kabir describes the show as a “soulful exploration of hidden legacies and unspoken truths,” promising viewers a blend of suspense, sentiment, and patriotism.

The actress completed her part of the shoot earlier this year and shared her admiration for the script and storytelling. Backed by producers Sunjoy Waddhwa and Amir Kabir, the team aims to elevate the genre by offering a narrative that is both engaging and emotionally resonant.
Part of the growing lineup of Hotstar Specials, Salakaar strengthens JioHotstar’s focus on producing high-quality, culturally rooted content.
