Zee5 has dropped the trailer for upcoming acclaimed film ‘Berlin’ and its one riveting spy thriller drama. Helmed by Atul Sabharwal, ‘Berlin’ will premiere only on Zee5 on 13th September, 2024.
In the trailer, viewers are taken back to 1993, around the time when Russian president was about to visit India in the aftermath of Cold War. A common sign language expert Pushkin Verma (Aparshakti Khurana) is hired to translate and interpret the interrogation of a deaf-mute man Ashok Kumar (Ishwar Singh) who is accused of being a foreign spy.
Indirectly the interrogation is conducted by incharge of the Soviet Desk Jagdish Sondhi (Rahul Bose) who is hell bent on finding out the truth and secrets. But there’s something much more sinister going on and that includes an assassination attempt in the visiting president.
As the proceedings move forward, the two men develop a fragile bond that oscillates between curiosity, mistrust, and a primal understanding. And this is exactly what two rival factions of the Bureau are counting on and set to manipulate, as they forge their own kind of cold war.
‘Berlin’ lures the audience into an atmospheric maze of secrets, lies and repressed emotions. The setting of ‘Berlin’ captures the beguiling textures of Delhi, where the film is centred and is frequented by diplomats.
‘Berlin’ stars a talented ensemble that includes Rahul Bose (‘Mr. And Mrs. Iyer’, ‘Pyar Ke Side Effects’, ‘Chameli’), Aparshakti Khurana (‘Dangal’, ‘Stree’, ‘Luka Chuppi’), Ishwak Singh (‘Made in Heaven’, ‘Adhura’, ‘Paatal Lok’, ‘Rocket Boys’) in prominent roles.
Atul Sabharwal serves as ‘Berlin’s’ director. His short film ‘Midnight Lost and Found’ has earlier won the Best Short Award at IFFLA in 2008. His other work credits include ‘Powder’, ‘Aurangzeb’, ‘In Their Shoes’, Netflix’s ‘Class of ‘83’ and Prime Video’s ‘Jubilee’.
A Yippee Ki Yay Motion Pictures production, ‘Berlin’ has since been to many film festivals like London Indian Film Festival, Asian WorldFilm Festival, IFFSA Toronto, and more. Produced by Umesh Kumar Bansal Atul Sabharwal and Manav Shrivastav, ‘Berlin’ will premiere only on Zee5 on 13th September, 2024.
