Spy thriller Berlin to have direct-to-digital release

Berlin, a spy thriller mystery starring Aparshakti Khurana and Ishwak Singh, is headed for a direct-to-digital release, the makers said on Monday. Set in early 1990s Delhi, the film is written and directed by Atul Sabharwal. Also starring Rahul Bose, Anupriya Goenka, and Kabir Bedi, Berlin was screened at the 15th Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM) last week. According to a press release, Berlin will have its exclusive premiere on ZEE5. While the film will see Singh play a speech and hearing impaired man who is arrested on espionage charges, Khurana will essay the role of a sign language expert. Sabharwal described Berlin as a “labour of love”. (PTI)
