Mumbai, November 12, 2026: Netflix has officially announced Pushpak Vimaan, a brand-new crime caper created by acclaimed writer-director Sudip Sharma, known for defining some of India’s most gritty and celebrated crime dramas. The upcoming series is co-created and written by Sudip Sharma alongside Abhishek Banerjee.

Headlined by three powerhouse actors of the digital space—Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhishek Banerjee, and Barun Sobti—the project marks a deliberate and exciting tonal shift for Sharma, stepping away from intense thrillers into the realm of sharp, character-driven comedy.

Produced by Film Squad Productions LLP (with Saurabh Malhotra serving as producer), Pushpak Vimaan derives its humour from an eccentric ensemble cast and a spiralling sequence of events that quickly escalates far beyond anyone’s control. The project highlights Netflix’s ongoing commitment to backing visionary creators as they experiment with fresh genres.

Sharing his thoughts on the series, creator and director Sudip Sharma said, “With Pushpak Vimaan, I wanted to explore a very different creative space. It is a crime caper, but one in which the humour comes from the characters, their circumstances and the sheer unpredictability of the situations they find themselves in. Netflix is where I choose to experiment, and it was the natural home for a story of this nature. It provided the space to explore the genre freely and to bring this unusual ensemble of characters to life.”

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, “Pushpak Vimaan is a show we are very excited to announce. Firstly this is our next franchise with Sudip Sharma whose distinct style of combining a compelling story with a deep commentary on society has always found critical as well as audience love. With Pushpak Vimaan, we’re happy to champion Sudip’s creativity once again, this time with a comedy series he wrote, showran and directed and it’s an unputdownable caper. It’s one hell of a fun ride that we can’t wait for our audiences to experience.”

Pushpak Vimaan marks the second major creative collaboration between Sudip Sharma and Netflix, following the immense success of the critically acclaimed series Kohrra.
