The makers of Daayra have released new posters featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kareena Kapoor Khan in their cop roles. The upcoming crime thriller marks the first time the two actors will be seen playing police officers together. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film is inspired by true events and focuses on a disturbing incident that has a major impact on society.
Prithviraj plays DCP Raman Kumar, a senior police officer who appears calm and focused while dealing with a serious case. Kareena Kapoor Khan plays DCP Ajooni Kohli, another police officer who is shown as strong and determined while investigating the matter.
The newly released posters give audiences a closer look at both characters. In the individual posters, Prithviraj and Kareena appear in their respective police avatars, reflecting the serious nature of the story. Another poster brings the two characters together, showing them standing back to back with swirling crime scene tape around them.
The film explores the investigation into a disturbing act and its wider effect on people and society. While the makers have kept much of the story under wraps, the posters suggest that the two police characters will play an important role in uncovering the truth behind the case.
Daayra has been directed by Meghna Gulzar, who has previously worked on films based on real events and socially relevant subjects. The new project continues her focus on stories involving complex human situations and serious issues.
The upcoming film will also bring together actors from different film industries. Prithviraj, who is known for his work in Malayalam cinema and several other Indian language films, will be seen alongside Kareena, one of Hindi cinema’s leading actors.
The trailer of Daayra is scheduled to be released on August 31, giving viewers a better idea about the story, characters and investigation at the centre of the film.
Daayra is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on September 18, 2026. The film will be released in Hindi and Malayalam. It is produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios. With its story inspired by true events and two actors playing police officers for the first time together, the film is expected to focus on the investigation and the social impact of the crime at its centre.
