Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming film ‘Bandar’, starring Bobby Deol, is set to release in cinema halls worldwide on May 22. The film, inspired by real-life events, is expected to present a hard-hitting narrative that examines issues of justice, power and accountability.

According to a PTI report, the film follows the story of a fading star accused of rape, exploring themes of systemic injustices, silenced voices in courtrooms and the harsh realities of a deeply flawed legal framework. The project aims to shed light on the complexities of the justice system while delving into the personal and professional consequences faced by those at its centre.

The makers announced the release date of the film through a post on Instagram, generating curiosity among audiences about the intense subject and the film’s narrative approach. The announcement has heightened expectations, particularly given the filmmaker’s reputation for presenting socially relevant stories through unconventional storytelling.

Headlined by Bobby Deol, the film is expected to showcase the actor in a powerful role, marking another significant project in his recent body of work. Known for his versatility, Deol’s portrayal of a complex character caught in a controversial legal battle is anticipated to form the emotional core of the film.

With its focus on real-life inspired events and its exploration of institutional and social dynamics, ‘Bandar’ is positioned as a thought-provoking addition to contemporary Hindi cinema. The film is slated to hit theatres globally on May 22.
