Homegrown streaming giant SonyLIV has released a flurry of cryptic posts on Instagram this afternoon. Each post features well-known faces in short videos, and is as mysterious and sinister as the next. Alongside the videos, SonyLIV teases its followers with the enigmatic query “what is Kafas?”.
Two videos feature popular actors Mona Singh and Sharman Joshi. Both appear ruffled, constantly looking over their shoulder for undisclosed threats, as they reveal their knowledge of a terrifying secret which they can’t disclose. Their lips are sealed by the money they’ve accepted to keep mum on the secret.
Social media influencer Urfi Javed, actor Shehnaaz Gill and stand-up comedian Atul Khatri too appear in videos that unfold along similar veins. Have a look at the Instagram videos here –

Finally, let us at Binged tell you what ‘Kafas’ is all about. Kafas, translated as “trapped” in English, is SonyLIV’s next Hindi web series, and is produced by Applause Entertainment and Madiba Entertainment. It is directed by Sahil Sangha, and created by Subhash Kapoor. Kafas stars Sharman Joshi, and Mona Singh in leading roles, along with Mikhail Gandhi, Tesjashvi Singh, Vivan Bhatena, Preeti Jhangiani, Zarina Wahab, Geetanjali Mishra, among others, in pivotal roles.
Going by the celebrity Instagram posts, Kafas seems to be centred on the Hindi entertainment industry. The official synopsis of Kafas reads, “Kafas is a gripping tale of power and privilege trampling over truth and justice. It is a journey of a middle-class family that rejoices when their son acquires a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity until a haunting reality hits them, leaving them to navigate the grounds of morality and power. It is an exploration into the world of dark money, capturing the intricacies of human nature and the price we pay for our choices.”
