Is Khufiya based on a true story?

Amar Bhushan, who served as the former head of counterespionage at India's foreign intelligence agency for twenty-four years, and his book Escape to Nowhere served as the inspiration for the film Khufiya.

His book was influenced by a real-life incident in which a CIA honey trap lured an R&AW operative. 2004's events happened precisely as predicted by Khufiya's timetable. The man in question was a CIA mole, according to a sophisticated surveillance system that the counterintelligence team had put up. Although we are aware that many details will have been dramatized and characters altered, etc., the account is largely accurate to what actually occurred.

You can stream Khufiya on Netflix.
