With the upcoming vengeance drama CAT, Randeep Hooda will be seen bringing his vast and diversified acting abilities to a series for the first time. After his performance in the film Extraction, Randeep returns to Netflix with this series. 

The actor will play the lead in this vengeance drama series, which is produced by Movie Tunnel Productions in collaboration with Jelly Bean Entertainment. Showrunner Balwinder Singh Janjua directs CAT, which is co-directed by Rupinder Chahal and Anutej Singh.

CAT is a crime thriller set in the Punjab countryside and tells the story of an innocent guy. He is thrown into a complex drug-trafficking scheme involving gangsters, cops, and political figures.

Speaking about his second venture with Netflix and the show ‘CAT’, Randeep Hooda said, 

“Working with Netflix is always a pleasure. I had a tremendous time during ‘Extraction’ and the love it got me from around the world was phenomenal. ‘CAT’ again has all the elements to appeal to a global audience. It has given me an opportunity to explore new facets as an actor in a simple but intriguing script. Can’t wait to see the audience reaction to the series."

Taking to his Instagram handle Hooda wrote,

"Where do you go when there's nowhere to hide? I couldn’t be more excited to announce #CAT, where drugs, deceit and danger come together to unravel chaos.Coming soon on @netflix_in. 💥"

Balwinder Singh Janjua turns gears with his latest directorial endeavour after writing films like Saand Ki Aankh and Mubarakan. After completing Tera Kya Hoga Lovely, a social comedy film with Randeep, the two have teamed up once more to tell stories from Punjab's underbelly. 

Balwinder has always wanted to showcase this timeframe, having grown up during a turbulent period and witnessing the rise of drug trafficking in the early 2000s, and with 'CAT,' he achieves just that.
