Regina Cassandra, of 'Saakini Daakini' fame, will next be seen in Zee5 Global's crime thriller series 'Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke' playing the role of an IPS officer.

The 32-year-old actor, who made her Kannada debut with 'Suryakaanti' and her Hindi debut with 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga' is excited to be cast in a pivotal role of an IPS Officer in the new web series.

"Putting rumours to rest, I am thrilled to be a part of 'Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke' helmed by Srijit Mukherji. It's been three months since we shot this crime thriller in four breathtakingly beautiful Indian states that gave it the rawness it needs," said Cassandra.

Shot in Meghalaya's beautiful locations, the show is an edge-of-the-seat thriller. It brings to the forefront the story of real heroes in uniform who silently and tirelessly work towards the betterment of the country.

Inspired by true events, 'Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke' also highlights the personal sacrifices and dedication relentlessly offered by officers in uniform.

Cassandra's character in the series Kavya is spontaneous, dedicated, a go-getter, and takes on all her missions head-on. Nothing stops her when it comes to fighting for the country.

Wearing the IPS officer uniform was a surreal experience for me. This is up there with the most empowering characters I have essayed so far. Officers wear multiple hats, and I believe that 'Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke' truly captures that. I feel blessed to see myself in a Khaki uniform," said Cassandra.

Produced by Juggernaut and helmed by national award-winning director Srijit Mukherji, 'Jaanbaaz Hindustan Ke' will be streamed on Zee5 Global in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
