What is Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web about?

The series is set in Mumbai airport, known as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International. The makers of Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web have mentioned that the Indian Customs Service - a part of law enforcement that has been massively under-portrayed in Indian films - has its inner workings scrutinised. The story revolves around the specialist unit's leader, Superintendent Arjun Meena (Hashmi) as he tries his best to demolish Bada Chaudhary's (Sharad Kelkar) complicated international smuggling ring.

What has Emraan Hashmi said about the show?

In a statement, Emraan Hashmi had said that the love he received ever since the teaser was launched has been truly encouraging. For the unversed, Taskaree marks his first collaboration with Neeraj. He had referred to the ensemble as 'talented' and called the association an 'incredibly rewarding experience'. "What stood out to me about the series was its grounded, intelligent take on heroism a story driven by quiet courage, discipline and duty rather than loud bravado. The entire cast and crew have worked relentlessly to bring this world to life, and I'm looking forward to audiences finally experiencing it on screen."

What has Neeraj to say about Taskaree The Smuggler's Web?

Creator Neeraj Pandey had earlier shared, "Customs has been a world I've always wanted to explore! The idea of stepping inside customs enforcement, a space that operates quietly, precisely and under constant pressure, drew me in. Bringing this vision to life has been incredibly exciting, especially with a cast and crew who were completely invested from day zero and understood the rhythm and realism the story demanded. We're thrilled to collaborate once again with Netflix after a successful franchise with Khakee. What we've created together is a very distinct crime thriller, rooted in authenticity and hope we live up to the expectations of our audiences whose encouragement has always kept us going!"
