Actor Adil Hussain is currently seen in ZEE5`s recently released web series, Mukhbir- The Story of a Spy. Directed by Shivam Nair and Jayprad Desai, ‘Mukhbir – The Story of a Spy’ is an inspiring story of India’s secret agent in Pakistan who rose to the occasion to save the nation and turn the tide of the war in his country’s favour. Talking about his role, Hussain said, "My role is of IPS officer Ramkishore Negi, of the intelligence bureau. The role is a very difficult one and is inspired by a true story. Thankfully, there were not many resources available and it is not in the public memory of India. So it became easier. I read quite a few things about him which are available. I met one of the relatives of this person whom I cannot name. As much as possible, it is fictionally created situations and circumstances."
Speaking about what made him say yes to the project, the actor said, "I am a big fan of spy movies. I had this kind of fascination from my childhood. I have a bias toward the force, on behalf of the underdogs. I like the stories of people who are not generally talked about. For example, in Assam, we have an amazing person named Jadav Payeng who has created a forest. No one has heard of him. Now he is coming into the limelight. And people in the intelligence community, do things very quietly and slip into oblivion and are never talked about. So this is a story about those people."
