Anil Kapoor is set to start the year with a bang as his action-drama, Subedaar, is slated for release in early March 2026 on Prime Video. This marks his first film release of the year, raising anticipation among fans.
Directed by Suresh Triveni, known for his previous work in Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa, Subedaar promises to be an adrenaline-fueled action drama with emotional depth. The film follows Arjun Singh, a retired Subedar, as he navigates the challenges of civilian life while dealing with a strained relationship with his daughter and societal dysfunction. The plot explores his struggle to protect his home and family, battling enemies both within and outside. Radhika Madan stars alongside Anil Kapoor, adding to the film's ensemble cast.
"The man who once fought for the nation, must now fight enemies within to protect his home and family," encapsulates the essence of the film's narrative. Subedaar is not just about action sequences but also weaves in an emotional father-daughter story, exploring themes of duty, loss, and redemption.
Filming for Subedaar wrapped up in early 2025. Kapoor recently teased fans with a powerful dubbing clip, delivering the line, "Gaur Se Suno!! Subedaar Bol Rahe Hain". The film is produced by Abundantia Entertainment, Opening Image, and Anil Kapoor Film & Communication Network Pvt. Ltd. Triveni co-wrote the film with Prajwal Chandrashekar.
In addition to Subedaar, Anil Kapoor has a busy year ahead. He is also set to appear in King, an action thriller film, scheduled for release on December 24, 2026. Directed by Siddharth Anand, King features a star-studded cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, and Suhana Khan. Kapoor also stars in the web series Family Business alongside Vijay Varma, which will be released on Netflix. The series, directed by Hansal Mehta and Niren Bhatt, tells the story of a billionaire grooming a tycoon to take over India's largest conglomerate.
Subedaar is expected to offer a mix of intense action, psychological depth, and emotional storytelling.
