Excited about attempting hardcore action after a long time with Subedaar, Anil reveals he has begun prep before the film rolls on September 15

Anil Kapoor plays a retired army officer grappling with civilian life
Fronting an all-out action film in your 60s can make you think twice. Not if you’re Anil Kapoor. See his work over the past few years, and it’s evident that the senior actor is enjoying this phase of his career—from playing a philandering husband in the light-hearted JugJugg Jeeyo (2022) to essaying the stern Indian Air Force group captain in Fighter. So, why should an action fare be out of bounds? Kapoor has begun his prep for Subedaar, in which he portrays a retired Indian Army officer struggling to come to terms with his civilian life.
Director Suresh Triveni, who previously helmed Tumhari Sulu (2017) and the acclaimed Jalsa (2022), is planning to roll the Prime Video offering in Mumbai on September 15. A source reveals, “Anil’s character Subedaar Arjun Singh is trying to rebuild his relationship with his grown-up daughter when his family comes under attack. How he turns from a man leading a civilian life into a fighting machine again forms the crux of the story. While the actor recently featured in actioners like The Night Manager [2023], Animal [2023] and Fighter, his characters rarely engaged in combat on screen. Here, it will be exciting to see him attempt high-octane stunts.”
