The official trailer of Bandar, featuring Bobby Deol in the lead role, was released on Thursday, offering audiences a gritty glimpse into a hard-hitting crime thriller directed by Anurag Kashyap. This film also marks the first collaboration between Kashyap and Deol and is scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on June 5, 2026.
In the trailer, Bobby Deol appears as Samar Mehra, a once-celebrated television superstar whose fame has faded over time. His character is shown struggling with loneliness, declining popularity, and a complicated public image shaped by controversy and perception. The story takes a dramatic and darker turn when Samar connects with a woman, played by Sapna Pabbi, through a dating application.
What begins as an online interaction soon escalates into a serious legal and emotional crisis when the woman accuses him of grave crimes, including rape, blackmail, and extortion. The trailer portrays Samar firmly denying the allegations, insisting that he is innocent and claiming instead that he is being harassed by a stalker-like figure. As the narrative unfolds, he finds himself entangled in a tense and complex legal battle that hints at corruption and manipulation within the system, raising questions about truth, power, and perception.
The film also features an ensemble cast including Sanya Malhotra, Saba Azad, Raj B Shetty, Jitendra Joshi, Riddhi Sen, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Nagesh Bhonsle in key roles. The screenplay has been written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee, known for acclaimed projects such as Paatal Lok, Kohrra, and Udta Punjab. Directed by Anurag Kashyap and produced by Nikhil Dwivedi under Saffron Magicworks with backing from Zee Studios, Bandar is set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 5, 2026.
