Overview

• The film debuts on Netflix on September 5, with Manoj Bajpayee as Inspector Madhukar Zende and Jim Sarbh as fugitive Carl Bhojraj, as the cast caps promotions with a visit to Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple.
• Director-writer Chinmay Mandlekar frames the story as a comic thriller driven by situational humor, echoing Bajpayee’s view that he avoids forced slapstick.
• The narrative is inspired by Zende’s pursuit of Charles Sobhraj, with the killer depicted under the renamed character Carl Bhojraj.
• Filmmakers stress period authenticity, highlighting the peacock‑green motorcycle and its number, shoots in Goa locales such as Saligao and Panaji, a recreated O’Coqueiro setting, and Marathi actors in Marathi roles.
• In a new promotional segment, the real Madhukar Zende recalls tracking Sobhraj in Goa using a motorcycle lead and notes that Rajiv Gandhi later stopped to greet him for the feat.
