MUMBAI: The teaser of the upcoming streaming series ‘Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web’ was unveiled on Wednesday. The series stars Emraan Hashmi in the role of Arjun Meena, a customs officer, and opens the gates to a world where every suitcase could hide a secret and every passenger could be a suspect.
With his team, Arjun cracks down on airport smuggling, from luxury goods hidden in plain sight to organised international syndicates. The series marks Neeraj Pandey’s 4th outing with Netflix and his first collaboration with Emraan Hashmi, a combination promising precision, pace, and high-stakes thrills.
Reflecting on his role, Emraan Hashmi said in a statement, "Taskaree was exciting for me on many levels. It’s my first time working with Neeraj Pandey, and stepping into his world. Playing a customs officer is new territory for me, and Arjun Meena isn’t loud or flashy, he’s calm, observant, and always thinking two steps ahead. I enjoyed stepping into that space. I’m really looking forward to audiences seeing me in this new role. Partnering with Netflix and Neeraj sir makes it even more special, it’s makers that encourage stories like this to be told at scale”.
