Varun Sharma to star in Informer, a web series
Mumbai: Having played memorable roles in successful films including Fukrey, Dolly Ki Doli and Dilwale among others, the cute and lovable actor Varun Sharma is set to make his debut in a brand new avatar, he will be seen playing a character never attempted before on the digital platform with a web series titled, Informers.
Produced by Amin Surani and written-directed by Rohan Bajaj, Informers is an upcoming web series based on the gripping real-life stories of informers and their tryst with a notorious terrorist organisation. It portrays their corroborative efforts of law enforcement that they faced head on in a brutal, bloody conflict. It details the many, often-conflicting forces - legal, political, police, military and civilian - that joined hands in the effort to control terrorism, one of our world's most lethal commodities.
Based on true events, Informers talks about the period of September 2008- during a period of national uproar and panic, a few brave men held their cards close to their chests and embarked on a covert mission.
Informers revolves around the unlikely union of three confidential police informants, formed by a daredevil encounter specialist, who rose to the challenge and became the unlikely unsung heroes. These men spent months tracking down the Indian Mujahideen terrorist group, right down to where their leader Riyaz Bhatkal was hiding, but as history tells us, trust & deceit are brothers in arms.
