MUMBAI: Former cricketer Sourav Ganguly has partnered with Netflix to be an Ultimate Superfan for ‘Khakee: The Bengal Chapter’
It premieres on 20 March, 2025. The OTT platform said that online speculations were rife about his cameo in the Netflix series. Did Dada don the uniform? Yes, he did. Not in the series, but for a collab that the platform said no one saw coming!
If he can’t be in the show, he did the next best thing – became the ultimate superfan and spread the word! Ganguly shared, “As someone who has always been passionate about thrillers and cop dramas, Khakee as a franchise is definitely one of my favourites. So when Netflix approached me, I was excited to collaborate with them for the newest installment of Khakee – The Bengal Chapter, in the capacity of a superfan.
“And I truly feel that. The series has been extensively shot in Kolkata and the gripping narrative and stellar performances make it a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a well-made thriller. I have the deepest respect and admiration for a maker like Neeraj Pandey and this collaboration with Netflix has been an absolute delight. It’s a first for me, and I would like to extend my best wishes to the entire team of Khakee. Watch Khakee: The Bengal Chapter on March 20 only on Netflix.”
