AGHA

Agha is the story of Indian expat Ayan Pathak, who finds himself drawn into a turbulent vortex of espionage and nuclear geopolitics in a volatile Tehran on the brink of revolution. Ayan is recruited into this mission against his will after his brilliant and barely legal manoeuvring around India's tightly regulated import laws of the time gets him noticed by its intelligence agency, R&AW. We follow Ayan on his journey as he transforms from selfish profiteer to reluctant protagonist, to plucky hero, and finally, to suave spy.

A co-production between India's International Storytelling Company, BANG BANG, and The Big Bang Theory star Kunal Nayyar's Good Karma, Agha has the potential to unlock a “dual audience” – it has the firepower to excite fans of the spy-thriller genre, as well as the authenticity and representation to make it compelling for the Global South Asian audience, including back home in India, where a large and growing streaming viewership is hungry for Indian stories with global context.
