Interestingly, it also marks the digital debut of Prakash Raj who became a household name after Singham among other projects.
The 57-year-old actor who plays the role of Bhagat, an Intelligence Bureau officer who trains secret agents, spoke about the reason behind saying 'yes' to this OTT series, and the USP of the show.
He said: "OTT platforms have opened up so many opportunities. There are a dozen scripts I want to explore. Having said that, I look forward to roles where I would be relevant and only then choose to associate in that space."

On making debut with 'Mukhbir', he says: "It is my first web series. This is a very fresh script that circles around the journey of a spy and very magically picturises the '60s, the era of Shastri ji (late Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri), when I was not even born and our country was an unknown territory. The humanness and the way heroes shine in the script from unexpected unseen situations is a surprise. I like how the story unfolds."
When asked about the USP of the show, he shares: "I think 'Mukhbir's' USP is that it's a slice-of-life series. It is real. It makes you experience something you have never seen or heard before and that's the beauty of it.¡±

"Few shows leave that impact on you. You feel like it is your story, you are there in every space and its sole purpose is much more beyond entertainment. It is rejuvenating. It makes you open your eyes. It is a new world, your mind travels to the historic period. It is a different feeling. 'Mukhbir' holds your hand and takes you through those dramas, and dilemmas that the country has been through," he concluded.
The show has received a positive response on the internet. Check it out:
