After getting his share of wah-wahs for his cameo in The Bads Of Bollywood, Emraan Hashmi is all set to lead the cast in a thriller directed by Neeraj Pandey called Taskaree (smuggling) in which Hashmi plays a customs officer.
Taskaree marks Neeraj Pandey’s first collaboration with Emraan Hashmi.
Speaking of his role in Taskaree, Hashmi says, “ Taskaree was exciting for me on many levels. It’s my first time working with Neeraj Pandey, and stepping into his world. Playing a customs officer is new territory for me, and my character Arjun Meena isn’t loud or flashy, he’s calm, observant, and always thinking two steps ahead. I enjoyed stepping into that space. I’m really looking forward to audiences seeing me in this new role.”
This is a fictional crime entertainer that opens the gates to a world where every suitcase could hide a secret and every passenger could be a suspect. At the heart of this operation is Superintendent Arjun Meena (Emraan Hashmi), a razor-sharp, calm, and calculating officer. With his team, he cracks down on airport smuggling — from luxury goods hidden in plain sight to organised international syndicates.
Taskaree begins streaming on Netflix from January 14, 2026.
