Subedaar OTT release date: Here's when and where you can stream Anil Kapoor's action drama

Streaming behemoth Prime Video officially announced the highly anticipated global premiere date for the Prime Original film Subedaar today. The grittier action-drama, starring veteran actor Anil Kapoor in the lead role, will premiere on the platform on March 5, 2026. Directed by Suresh Triveni, whose earlier films include Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa—which were critically acclaimed—the film "Subedaar" will be available to stream in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Suresh Triveni (Opening Image), Anil Kapoor (AKFCN), and Vikram Malhotra (Abundantia Entertainment) are all involved in the production. Triveni and Prajwal Chandrashekar collaborated on the screenplay, which centres around a storyline that skilfully blends intense action with profound emotional stakes.

Who are the key cast members of Subedaar?

Kapoor and Radhikka Madan lead the film's ensemble cast. The likes of Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Faisal Malik, and Mona Singh provide supporting performances. Production on the film supposedly wrapped up in early 2025, and then there was a long post-production period to polish the graphic style and action choreography.

Kapoor plays the protagonist, Subedaar Arjun Maurya, a former soldier who is now a civilian. The narrative, which takes place in the rural Indian interior, probes his fight for social acceptance while examining the pervasive challenges to the principles he fought for in the military.

How does Subedaar balance family drama with social commentary?

Madan's portrayal of the protagonist's daughter, Shyama, and their strained relationship is the central emphasis of the film. A character study of a man who must fight "enemies within" to defend his family and maintain his integrity is just as important as the film's discussion of external dangers like corruption and crime. The makers have characterised it as a look at society's decline seen through the eyes of a combat veteran.

This news comes after a viral promotional campaign that featured the suggestive tagline "Don't F**k with Subedaar" on the poster. A new official teaser gives an idea of how Kapoor transforms for the role. A rugged, bearded avatar of him drives a red vehicle often seen in the clip, with the word "Fauji" (soldier) painted on the side.

What are the other releases of Anil Kapoor in 2026?

Maurya sits serenely in a darkly lit room while several men try to frighten him from outside, as shown in a notable sequence in the teaser. "Lala, humse na bhediyo" (Don't mess with me) is Kapoor's last line in the teaser, spoken in a controlled yet intimidating tone.

Subedaar is Kapoor's first big release of 2026. The actor is further expanding his OTT presence after a recent appearance in the action blockbuster War 2. Next up for Kapoor is his appearance in the Netflix series Family Business after Subedaar.
