The details of the project are still kept secret but as per the report in the portal, it will be in the lines of the American television series, Expedition Unknown.

The portal quoted a source saying, “Kabir Khan comes from the background of documentary filmmaking, and hence his every film necessarily has a subtle, yet strong political message. This show will also have a socio-political commentary with a great human story at the forefront.” Kabir and his team are leaving no stone unturned to make this project a worthwhile cinematic experience for the viewers as per the source.

Kabir Khan’s first OTT show was Amazon Prime Video’s The Forgotten Army: Azaadi Ke Liye. Earlier, he has given hits like New York, Ek Tha Tiger, and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
