Tabu’s investigation of footage from surveillance cameras leads her to the release date of Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming spy thriller film Khufiya in a date announcement teaser unveiled by Netflix on Thursday.

In the 45-second-long video, we see Ali Fazal’s character using a photocopy machine to copy some sensitive information. Tabu’s character from the film goes through footage from surveillance cameras. The footage, from July 12, 2004, shows a man using a photocopy machine.

Tabu asks the camera operator Kutty to rotate the footage so that she can read the document. We then see a close-up of the said document which reads, “Khufiya 5th October 2023”.

“Kuch raaz, raaz hi rahe to behtar hai. But not this one 👀,” wrote Tabu on Instagram, sharing the date announcement teaser of the film.

Based on Amar Bhushan's espionage novel Escape to Nowhere, Khufiya’s screenplay is written by Rohan Narula and Vishal Bhardwaj. Apart from Tabu and Ali Fazal it also features Waniqa Gabbi, Ashish Vidyarthi, Azmeri Haque Badhon and Alexx O'Nell.

Khufiya will be streaming on Netflix from October 5.
