Veteran actor Bobby Deol has shared his excitement and sense of gratitude over teaming up with acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap for the upcoming film Bandar. Speaking to the media during a promotional event, Deol described the collaboration as a “stroke of luck” and a “creative turning point” in his career.
Bandar, directed by Kashyap and produced under a leading banner, is set to be a gritty, genre-defying thriller that explores themes of power, morality, and urban decay. The film marks the first collaboration between Deol and Kashyap, a pairing that has generated considerable buzz in the industry due to their contrasting cinematic styles.
Deol, who has recently earned praise for his intense performances in films like Animal and Aashram, said working with Kashyap has been both challenging and rewarding. “I feel lucky to be part of a project that pushes boundaries. Anurag’s vision is bold and uncompromising, and being directed by him has helped me tap into a new dimension of my craft,” he stated.
Kashyap, known for his unconventional storytelling and raw realism, has also spoken highly of Deol’s commitment to the role. He noted that the actor brings a unique blend of vulnerability and intensity that aligns perfectly with the film’s tone.
Industry insiders suggest that Bandar could be a career-defining project for Deol, positioning him as a versatile performer capable of navigating complex narratives. The film is currently in post-production and is expected to release in early 2026.
With anticipation building around its release, Bandar is being closely watched by critics and audiences alike, as it promises to deliver a compelling cinematic experience backed by strong performances and bold direction.
