The video begins with the director requesting the Prince of Calcutta, Sourav Ganguly, to portray a fearless and honest police officer.

The action-packed video, released on March 17, unveils Sourav Ganguly’s look as a police officer, showcasing his intense rage as he draws inspiration from a former coach he had past controversies with. In a humorous twist, he is asked to beat up a criminal, and while holding a wooden stick, he playfully references different cricket strokes.

Sharing his thoughts on Khakee: The Bengal Chapter, Sourav Ganguly stated that the Khakee franchise is one of his favorites, as reported by OTTplay. The series features a star-studded cast, including Saswata Chatterjee, Ritwik Bhowmik, Aadil Zafar Khan, Pooja Chopra, Aakanksha Singh, Mimoh Chakraborty, and Shraddha Das.

Interestingly, Khakee: The Bengal Chapter will be the first Hindi show on Netflix to stream simultaneously in both Hindi and Bengali. Starring Jeet Madnani, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee, and Chitrangada Singh in lead roles, the series serves as a standalone sequel to Neeraj Pandey’s Khakee: The Bihar Chapter. Set in Kolkata, the gripping story has been created by Pandey.

Set in 2002, the story centers on the death of a police officer in Bengal. The series follows IPS Arjun Maitra as he takes on ruthless gangsters and corrupt politicians, fighting to restore law and order in a crime-ridden region.
