The upcoming season of Khakee shifts its focus to Kolkata in the early 2000s, where the city was plagued by gang wars and political power struggles. The story follows IPS officer Arjun Maitra, played by Jeet, as he takes on the criminal underworld and challenges the deeply entrenched system.
The show promises high-octane action, political intrigue, and moral dilemmas, with an ensemble cast including Saswata Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee, Ritwik Bhowmik, Chitrangada Singh, and Pooja Chopra.
Speaking about the series, showrunner Neeraj Pandey described it as an exploration of power dynamics and blurred lines between good and evil.
“With Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, we take the intensity to a whole new level. The entire cast has delivered exceptional performances, and filming in Kolkata has added a unique authenticity to the narrative,” he said.
Directed by Tusshar and Debatma, the show aims to bring Kolkata’s rich yet turbulent history to life — a journey of justice, betrayal, and the fight for power.
