Besides the actors, thousands of people thronged India Gate to catch a glimpse of the celebrities.
Helmed by Dasgupta, the upcoming web series will mark Emraan's debut on the digital platform.
Giving a glimpse of the Netflix original series, the actor said: "The show is set against the backdrop of the Indian subcontinent. The multi-lingual series will tell the story of an expelled RAW agent, Kabir Anand which is played by me, who goes on an unsanctioned mission to Baluchistan to save 4 Indian agents captured by the Taliban. So basically it's high on thrills, action and suspense."
Based on Bilal Siddiqi's novel that goes by the same name, the thriller web series will stream on September 27, 2019, in Hindi, Urdu and English among other languages.
