Netflix Announces Pushpak Vimaan: Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhishek Banerjee, and Barun Sobti to Headline Sudip Sharma’s New Crime Comedy

Netflix has officially announced Pushpak Vimaan, an upcoming crime caper created and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Sudip Sharma. Headlined by powerhouse performers Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhishek Banerjee, and Barun Sobti, the series marks a refreshing tonal shift for Sharma—widely celebrated for gritty, intense crime dramas—as he steps into comedic territory driven by eccentric characters and escalating chaos.

Co-created and written by Sudip Sharma alongside Abhishek Banerjee, and produced by Saurabh Malhotra under Film Squad Productions LLP, Pushpak Vimaan follows an eclectic group of individuals caught in a crime caper where humor stems organically from unpredictable circumstances and a chain of events spiraling rapidly out of control.

Speaking about venturing into a new genre, creator and director Sudip Sharma shared:

“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 at Netflix India, echoed the enthusiasm, highlighting the platform’s ongoing partnership with Sharma following the success of Kohrra. “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,” she said.

Marking Sharma’s second major collaboration with Netflix, Pushpak Vimaan brings together three of streaming’s most celebrated actors in an offbeat ensemble setup. Additional details, including the official release date and premiere schedule, are expected to be unveiled soon.
