Mumbai, February 20 Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's upcoming film, "Bandar", starring Bobby Deol, is scheduled to arrive in cinemas worldwide on May 22.
Headlined by Deol, the movie is said to be inspired by real-life events and follows the story of a fading star accused of rape, shedding light on systemic injustices, silenced voices in courtrooms, and the harsh realities of a deeply flawed legal framework.
In an Instagram post, the makers announced the release date of the film.
"See you at the cinemas on May 22, 2026", the post read, alongside the poster of Deol from "Bandar".
Kashyap has written the script of "Bandar" in collaboration with Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee, known for the acclaimed OTT shows "Paatal Lok" and "Kohrra". Sharma has been receiving rave reviews for his latest show, "Kohrra 2".
Last year in July, "Bandar" premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in the special presentations category.
Actors Sanya Malhotra, Raj B Shetty, Jitendra Joshi, Sapna Pabbi, Indrajith Sukumaran, Riddhi Sen, and Nagesh Bhosle complete the cast of "Bandar".
The film is produced by actor-turned-producer Nikhil Dwivedi under his banner Saffron Magicworks, and Zee Studios.
Meanwhile, Kashyap's widely-acclaimed movie, "Kennedy", released on ZEE5 on Friday after a three-year delay.
