I had a tremendous time during Extraction and the love it got me from around the world was phenomenal. CAT again has all the elements to appeal to a global audience. It has given me an opportunity to explore new facets as an actor in a simple but intriguing script. Can’t wait to see the audience reaction to the series.”

Taking to his Instagram handle Hooda wrote, "Where do you go when there's nowhere to hide? I couldn’t be more excited to announce #CAT, where drugs, deceit, and danger come together to unravel chaos. Coming soon on netflix_in. ????"
