In an exciting news for digital audiences, actor Aparshakti Khurana’s highly-anticipated spy-thriller, *Berlin*, is soon to make its debut directly on the popular streaming platform, ZEE5. The announcement was made by the makers today, August 19, creating a buzz amongst fans and followers of the genre. Directed by the accomplished Atul Sabharwal, *Berlin* boasts an impressive ensemble cast featuring Ishwak Singh, Rahul Bose, Anupriya Goenka, and Kabir Bedi.
According to details released by ZEE5, *Berlin* transports viewers into the chilly and secretive world of 1990s Delhi, where the icy winter season sets the stage for a clandestine storm of espionage. The narrative promises an intricate tale revolving around three central characters whose lives intertwine in unforeseen ways.

Stepping out of his comfort zone, Aparshakti Khurana portrays a sign language expert.

Anupriya Goenka, on the other hand, takes on the role of an enigmatic agent with hidden loyalties, adding further intrigue to the storyline. Rahul Bose’s portrayal as an intelligence officer dealing with both external threats and internal dilemmas within his agency provides another compelling dimension to the movie.
The film has already garnered international acclaim and has been lauded at esteemed film festivals for its unique take on the espionage genre.
