Love Spy Thrillers? Here’s One Coming Up From The Master Of Spy & Crime Thrillers!

A gritty spy thriller series makes its way to Voot Select this month. And it is by none other than Apoorva Lakhia, the man behind hit spy/crime thrillers such as Shootout At Lokhandwala and Mission Istanbul. The series is called ‘Crackdown’ and it will premiere on Voot Select on 23rd September. The streamer has just released the first look poster of the upcoming release, and it looks intriguing and compelling.

The first look poster of Crackdown features the delectable cast of the series – Saqib Saleem, Iqbal Khan, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rajesh Tailang, Waluscha De Sousa and Ankur Bhatia. From what one can see in the poster, Ankur Bhatia seems to be the antagonist to Saqib Saleem’s protagonist. Missing from the poster is Mudasir R Bhat, the young upcoming actor from Jammu And Kashmir. He plays the critical role of Kabir in the series.

The spy thriller Crackdown promises to be fast-paced and action-packed, brimming with action setpieces, the kind Apoorva Lakhia is known for. His cult movie ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’, redefined gangster movies in the country after RVG’s Satya. Apoorva Lakhia writes all his own content, apart from directing them.

Looks like Voot Select has another winner on its hands in Crackdown. It is the only streaming platform to have scored a perfect ten in the OTT content space. All the original series it has premiered until now have received superb reception from viewers. Starting with one of the year’s best shows, Asur, and going on to Marzi, The Raikar Case, Illegal and The Gone Game, all Voot Select shows can be classified as hits.

Apoorva Lakhia’s web series Crackdown was earlier named Raftaar. It had been commissioned a year and a half back for Voot, but has only gotten ready now to hit Voot Select.

Have a look at the first poster of Crackdown. The series arrives on Voot Select on 23rd September.
