Khufiya is based on the novel Escape to Nowhere by Amar Bhushan, the former chief of the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), India’s external intelligence agency.

The book is about the case of Rabinder Singh, a former R&AW spy suspected of being a CIA mole. In 2004, Singh escaped from Delhi despite being closely surveilled by his superiors.

The Khufiya trailer opened at the R&AW headquarters in New Delhi in 2004. A voiceover says, “We have a mole in the agency,”.  Ravi Mohan (Ali Fazal) is suspected as a mole who is betraying his nation by purloining top-secret documents for a foreign power. He is being closely watched by the Research & Analyst Wing team, led by Krishna Mehra (Tabu).
