Randeep Hooda to star in Netflix's revenge drama series Cat set in Punjab

Randeep Hooda will be seen bringing his versatile acting prowess with upcoming revenge drama Cat. This series marks Randeep’s return to Netflix after his role in the Chris Hemsworth-starrer Extraction.

Randeep said, “Cat again has all the elements to appeal to a global audience. It has given me an opportunity to explore new facets as an actor in a simple but intriguing script. Can’t wait to see the audience reaction to the series.” About an innocent man, Cat is a crime thriller set against the backdrop of the Punjab hinterlands. He is thrown into a deep, drug trafficking conspiracy between gang lords, cops and political powers. Produced by Movie Tunnel Productions in association with Jelly Bean Entertainment, the actor will play the lead in this revenge drama series. Cat is directed by showrunner Balwinder Singh Janjua and co-directed by Rupinder Chahal and Anutej Singh.

After giving us films like Saand Ki Aankh and Mubarakan as a writer, Balwinder Singh Janjua shifts gears with his latest directorial venture. Following the completion of Tera Kya Hoga Lovely film with Randeep, the duo partnered again to bring forth stories from Punjab. Janjua said, “With the pace at which our industry is releasing content, it’s easy to be lost in the herd, but with the industry giant like Netflix backing my passion for creating a series with a subject so close to my heart, I feel truly blessed and lucky. An opportunity to work with an exceptional artist like Randeep Hooda is the cherry on top.” —IANS
