Excited about the project, Saif said, "As an actor and producer, this is the one-of-a-kind opportunity that one waits for. It is a story that has been adapted the world over and loved by audiences, irrespective of their geographies, so yes, my team and I at Black Knight Films - Kunjal Punamiya (CEO/co-producer) and Pavan Kriplani (Creative Producer/co-producer) are super excited to be associated with this project and getting it rolling."

Originally created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt, 'The Bridge' opens with a dead body discovered on a border that is shared by two countries - half the body lies in one and the other half in another. This discovery leads to a joint investigation by the police forces of the two regions, forcing detectives from both sides to work together to solve the crime.

The Bridge is a present-day crime thriller exploring the tensions between two neighbouring countries.

The show is originally created and written by Hans Rosenfeldt. More details regarding the Hindi version of 'The Bridge' are awaited. It is jointly produced by Black Knight Films and Endemol Shine India, a Banijay company.
