Talking about the film's premiere on the service, Vijay Subramaniam, Director and Head, Content, Amazon Prime Video India, said, `We are always committed towards offering our subscribers, who are ardent cinephiles the very best of cinema.

Since the movie has already premiered globally, I have been waiting for the moment where Indian audiences get the chance to watch this thrilling spy drama. I am hoping that they too will shower the same love and appreciation that we received from other parts of the world.`

`I am thrilled that A Call To Spy will be an Amazon Original in India. Radhika Apte is an incredible talent and it was a joy to work with her.

In the beginning of WWII, with Britain becoming desperate, Churchill orders his new spy agency -`SOE` - to recruit and train women as spies. The spies, referred to by The Irish Times as `Churchill's wonder women,` had a daunting mission: conduct sabotage and build a resistance. SOE's `Spymistress,` Vera Atkins (Stana Katic) recruits two unusual candidates: Virginia Hall (Thomas), an ambitious American with a wooden leg, and Noor Inayat Khan (played by Radhika Apte), a Muslim pacifist. Together, these women help to undermine the Nazi regime in France, leaving an unmistakable legacy in their wake. Inspired by true stories, this original screenplay draws on various `spy files`, and as well as interviews with living relatives and friends.

A Call To Spy is now available in select theaters and on demand from IFC Films in North America and Signature Entertainment in the U.K and will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video in India.
