MUMBAI: Hotstar Specials recently launched the biggest spy action thriller of 2020 - Special Ops. Directed by Neeraj Pandey and Shivam Nair, this fast-paced 8-episode series is based on the role of Indian intelligence in a series of real terror attacks that India faced over the last 19 years including the 26/11 attacks. Since its launch last week, the show has received a great response from audiences across the country and B-Town Celebs are not far behind.
A-list celebrities including the likes of Karan Johar, Manoj Bajpai and Tapsee Panu have spoken fondly about the eight-part series.
Speaking about the show, actor Manoj Bajpayee, said, “Not only a friend but a great fan of Neeraj Pandey and his work. Kay Kay, Divya and the rest of the cast are superlative as actors! Special Ops completely caters to the fanboy in me and here's to the launch of a spectacular show in the espionage genre!”
Taapsee Pannu, who recently began watching the show said “Just started watching Special Ops - it’s a typical Neeraj Pandey espionage thriller. The fact that it brings back memories of the real attack that happened makes it even more personal for every Indian. The end of the episode cliff hanger makes it impossible to not get hooked on to. It’s been long since I saw an espionage thriller web show. Last I saw such a series was Homeland - next will be this,” she said.
The Godfather of Bollywood, Karan Johar, took to Twitter to congratulate Karan Tacker for his role as Agent Farooq Ali in the show.
