A new promo trailer of Netflix series 'Khakee: The Bengal Chapter' has cricket star Sourav Ganguly, widely known as Dada, making his acting debut. In the now-viral video, Ganguly tries to play a police officer, but his efforts to control his temper on camera lead to some comedic moments.

The video begins with Ganguly gatecrashing the shoot of the web series, asking, "You are making a show about Bengal and didn’t invite Dada?" He then makes a dramatic entrance in a police uniform, taking everyone by surprise.

He is offered a role as an "honest and aggressive" police officer, which he eagerly accepts. However, when tasked with displaying aggression, Ganguly appears nervous until he recalls his infamous feud with former Australian captain Greg Chappell. The mere mention of Chappell reignites his anger, and Ganguly delivers a fiery performance.

Netflix India shared the promo with the caption, "The Bengal Tiger meets the Bengal Chapter. Watch Khakee: The Bengal Chapter out 20 March, only on Netflix."
