Now who is Chellam sir, you might ask?

Chellam sir, played superbly by Tamil actor Uday Mahesh, is a retired spy who used to work with National Investigative Agency.

In the show, whenever Manoj Bajpayee’s character Srikanth Tiwari from the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell (TASC) hit a roadblock in his investigation, he calls Chellam sir for advice and Chellam sir would always come to his rescue.

The prompt and ever helpful nature of Chellam sir made people sit up and take notice of the unassuming but highly intelligent character who barely had few scenes in the series.

It led to countless memes, with the character showing up in State advisory messages to users wanting a Chellam sir of their own.

And now, so fascinated are people by the character that they are asking the makers to think of a spin-off around Chellam sir, whose full name is still not known.

In fact, according to an interview with actor Uday Mahesh, the word Chellam, which roughly translates to darling in Tamil may not even be his real name, but a moniker. Go figure!
