debut in the digital world.

The actor will be
essaying the role of Sartaj, cop in his forties who is separated from his wife.
We stumbled upon
a few pictures of the actor shooting for the series. Take a look:
Sacred Games, an
adaptation of Vikram Chandra's 20006 crime novel of the same name, will be
produced in partnership with Phantom Films. The series also stars
Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Radhika Apte and Karan Wahi besides Saif.
Set in Mumbai,
Sacred Games delves into the city’s intricate web of organized crime,
corruption, politics and espionage that lie beneath India’s economic
renaissance. It is an epic masterwork of exceptional richness and power that
interweaves the lives of the privileged, the famous, the wretched and the
bloodthirsty.

Talking about the
project, Saif had recently told a leading tabloid, "I think web content is
really powerful and that's where we all need to be. Television has a lot of
restrictions. Web content, on the other hand, is devoid of any kind of
censorship. It's a free environment."

am excited about the quality and content of our show. The book was fantastic

forward to starting this new venture."
As of now, the
actor is busy promoting his upcoming film Chef. Yesterday, the makers
released the first song Shugal Laga Le from the project. The
upbeat song has been sung and composed by Raghu Dixit and written by Ankur
Tiwari.
