Cinema VinesPrithviraj Sukumaran and Kareena Kapoor will meet on screen for the first time in the thriller Daayra, a film that draws on real‑life incidents and promises a tense, hard‑hitting narrative. The movie, directed by National Award‑winning filmmaker Meghna Gulzar, is slated to hit Indian theatres on 18 September 2026.
The makers have released a striking new poster that shows the two stars locked in a dramatic face‑off, hinting at the conflict that drives the story. The image, which showcases Prithviraj and Kareena with intense expressions, symbolises the battle between crime and its consequences, setting the tone for a film that explores the blurred lines between law, justice, morality and responsibility.
Written jointly by Yash Keswani, Seema Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar, Daayra is said to be inspired by real‑life events and tackles several socially relevant themes. It will be the first collaboration between Jungle Pictures and Pen Studios, who co‑produce the film, while Pen Marudhar has secured the distribution rights.
Meghna Gulzar will be directing her third project with Jungle Pictures, following the critically and commercially successful Talvar and Raazi. The film is expected to spark conversations on important social issues while delivering a gripping cinematic experience.
