The engrossing drama "Salakaar," which blends patriotism, sacrifice, and intelligence, will make its JioHotstar debut on August 15.

Salakaar is a high-stakes spy thriller where the past and present collide

with devastating consequences. Set across two timelines, the series follows a young Indian spy

on a covert mission that uncovers hidden truths and national secrets. Inspired by real events,

Salakaar tells the story of a decorated spymaster who, driven by sheer mettle and crucial

intelligence, successfully disarms enemy forces to safeguard national security. With layers of

intrigue, action, and patriotism, Salakaar brings a powerful narrative of courage and sacrifice to the screen, only on JioHotstar on August 15.

Alok Jain, JioStar, said, At JioHotstar, we are committed to shaping an entertainment

ecosystem that reflects the evolving preferences of India’s diverse audience and Salakaar

embodies that perfectly. We are proud to bring a story that is both emotionally resonant and

cinematically ambitious. We continue to support stories that challenge convention while staying

rooted in powerful human truths. I’m thankful to the entire team who dedicated their precious

years to bringing this to audiences this Independence Day.”

Faruk Kabir, director and co-writer, said, “Salakaar is not just a spy thriller, it’s a deeply

emotional narrative about fractured legacies and the cost of silence. We’re looking at espionage

not only as a mission but as a burden, as a debt that passes from one generation to another.”

Sunjoy Waddhwa, Chairman & Managing Director, Sphereorigins said, “With Salakaar, we wanted to push the boundaries of spy thrillers in India - this is an incredible story, it is layered, relevant and emotionally sharp.

We’ve found great partners in JioHotstar to bring this tale to

life and are looking forward to Aug 15 when the audiences get a chance to watch Salakaar.”

Mahir Khan, Proprietor Mahir Films, added, “We at Mahir Films have been looking forward to

telling the world about Salakaar and the phenomenal story that it is, filled with courage, thrill,

vulnerability and so much more. Together with Sphereorigins and JioHotstar, we aspire to bring

forth an all-consuming spy thriller to the audiences.”

The launch of Salakaar builds on JioHotstar’s momentum following the success of genre-

defining shows such as Criminal Justice: A Family Matter and the recent announcement of

Special Ops Season 2. It is a reflection of the platform’s continued commitment to creating

content that evolves with India’s changing tastes, pushing boundaries in scale, storytelling, and

cultural relevance.
