”’Mukhbir’ celebrates the bravery and the sacrifices of the unsung heroes of India, the spies and I am glad to be a part of such a remarkable project. These spies go unnoticed despite their silent but monumental work and hence, ‘Mukhbir’ is our tribute to their selfless efforts,” the National Award winner said in a statement.
