Overview

• Bandar is slated for its world premiere on September 6 at the Toronto International Film Festival in the Special Presentations section.
• Kashyap says Bobby Deol chose the film despite big mainstream offers and delivers a raw, vulnerable performance he calls "so emotionally naked."
• The cast draws heavily from Indian theatre with no junior artists, featuring five National Award winners and actors including Sanya Malhotra, Raj B. Shetty, Ridhi Sen, Saba Azad, Jitendra Joshi, Nagesh Bhonsle, Sukant Goel, and Ankush Gedam.
• The film is co-written by Abhishek Banerjee and Sudip Sharma, aligning with Kashyap’s auteur-driven, craft-centric approach.
• Producer Nikhil Dwivedi backs the project, and an Indian commercial release date has not been announced.
