Subedaar director Suresh Triveni recently spoke about working with Anil Kapoor for the film and revealed that the movie carries profound personal significance for him, describing it as a tribute to the star who shaped his cinematic sensibilities.

Sharing a personal anecdote, Suresh said, “I am a boy from Ranchi and there was a whole Munna phase after Tezaab released. I clearly remember I used to flaunt the Laadla orange shirt as a kid. For a small-town kid to imagine he will direct his matinee idol is nothing short of a miracle.”

Looking back, Suresh said that the journey that followed is one he wouldn’t trade for anything on earth. What started as a spontaneous idea evolved into a deeply personal commitment, a film driven by emotion, conviction, and what he calls his own “stubbornness.”

“This medium is about conviction and once I shared this idea with Vikram (producer Vikram Malhotra). He backed it instantly and took the call on Anil Kapoor. What further amazed me was the trust Anil showed on me without flinching for a moment,” said Suresh.

Subedaar is currently streaming on Prime Video. It also features Radhikka Madan, Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Mona Singh and Faisal Malik.
