About an innocent man, 'Cat' is a crime thriller set against the backdrop of the Punjab hinterlands. He is thrown into a deep, drug trafficking conspiracy between gang lords, cops and political powers.

Following the completion of 'Tera Kya Hoga Lovely', a social comedy film with Randeep, the duo partnered again to bring forth stories from the underbelly of Punjab.

Janjua shared: "With the pace at which our industry is releasing content, it's very easy to be lost in the herd, but with the industry giant like Netflix backing my passion for creating a series with a subject so close to my heart, I feel truly blessed and lucky. And having the opportunity to work with an exceptional artist like Randeep Hooda is the cherry on top."
