Why Kolkata? Neeraj Pandey Shares His Personal Connection

Beyond the speculation, Pandey revealed a deeper reason for choosing Kolkata as the backdrop for ‘Khakee’s’ latest chapter—his personal connection to the city.

“I was born and brought up in Kolkata. This played an important role in me choosing Kolkata for the second chapter in the series… there was a personal bias,” he shared.

Unlike its predecessor, ‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’ (2022), which was set in Bihar, this latest installment dives into Kolkata’s crime-ridden past in the early 2000s, focusing on an IPS officer’s fight against corruption, crime, and political power struggles.
