‘Bheed’, the upcoming directorial debut of filmmaker Anubhav Sinha, will be released in theaters on March 24.

The film, set against the backdrop of the 2020 India lockdown, stars Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Kapur, Bhumi Pednekar, Dia Mirza and Ashutosh Rana.

The director announced the release date of ‘Bheed’, which he says reflects the complexities and contradictions of our times, in a statement.

“ ‘Bheed’ is a story that sheds light on the social disparity that the country faced in the toughest of times. I needed to bring this story to life and share it with the audience,” said Sinha, known for films like ‘Article 15’, and ‘Thappad’, PTI reported from Mumbai.

The upcoming film is co-produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Sinha. Kumar expressed his excitement to be working with Sinha on Bheed, which will provide insight into the country’s difficult times.

“‘Bheed’ is a film that will share a deep and insightful perspective into some of our country’s tough times in recent years, and Anubhav’s vision as a director is second to none,” the producer said.

Virendra Saxena, Aditya Shrivastav, Kritika Kamra, and Karan Pandit also appear in the film.
