Actress Wamiqa Gabbi is currently in the spotlight due to her role in Vishal Bhardwaj's latest cinematic offering, Khufiya, which features acclaimed actors such as Tabu, Ali Fazal, and Ashish Vidyarthi, among others. The film made its debut on an OTT platform on October 5th, and opinions from both fans and critics have been somewhat mixed.
Wamiqa's portrayal in the film has ignited a fervor on the internet, primarily because of the bold and provocative scenes she has performed. The 30-year-old actress assumes the character of Charu, the wife of Ali's character, in Khufiya.
In the wake of the film's digital release, social media was abuzz with numerous videos showcasing Wamiqa's intimate moments with Ali. In one of these videos, the actress can be seen smoking and dancing sensually in seductive lingerie to the iconic tune Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani.
While some social media users have praised Wamiqa's performance in Khufiya, others have criticized her for the explicit content in the film.
Tabu takes on the role of a skilled operative at the Research & Wing Analysis in the movie, adding to the film's intrigue.
Khufiya is a spy thriller film, with Vishal Bhardwaj handling the roles of writer, producer, and director. The film draws inspiration from Amar Bhushan's espionage novel, Escape to Nowhere. Besides the leading actors, the movie also features Atul Kulkarni, Azmeri Haque Badhon, Shataf Figar, Lalit Parimoo, and Jan Graveson, among others.
Wamiqa Gabbi's future projects suggest her rising prominence in the world of Indian OTT platforms, with a string of notable shows like Mai, Jubilee, Grahan, Modern Love: Mumbai, and Charlie Chopra.
After making her debut with a brief appearance in Jab We Met and subsequently gaining recognition for her role in 83, Wamiqa ventured extensively into regional cinema before finding her niche in OTT projects.
Her upcoming projects include a collaboration with Varun Dhawan in VD18, as well as Punjabi film Kikli and Tamil movie Genie.
