Streamer Netflix announced a new crime-caper show, Pushpak Vimaan on Thursday (November 12, 2026). The series is created and written by Sudip Sharma (Paatal Lok, Kohrra) and Abhishek Banerjee and directed by Sudip. It stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhishek Banerjee (Mirzapur, Stree fame) and Barun Sobti in the lead.

Pushpak Vimaan marks the second creative collaboration between Sudip Sharma and Netflix after Kohrra. The makers have described the show as “a crime caper in which humour arises from an eclectic ensemble of characters and a sequence of events that escalates well beyond anyone’s control.”

Speaking about it, Sudip said in a statement, “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.”

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India said, “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.”

The show is produced by Saurabh Malhotra.
