Kareena, Prithviraj tease Daayra

Meghna Gulzar’s crime drama Daayra, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan & Prithviraj Sukumaran, is set for release on September 18

The release date for Meghna Gulzar’s next directorial, Daayra, has been officially announced alongside a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the film’s sets. The film, set for a September 18 release, features Kareena Kapoor Khan and Prithviraj Sukumaran as police officers.

To mark the announcement, the makers shared a raw, unseen look into the world and making of Daayra. Positioned as a gritty exploration of crime, justice and punishment, the film features Kareena and Prithviraj in intense avatars as police officers, navigating a high-stakes narrative where the lines between law and justice begin to blur.

Sharing the glimpse on Instagram, Meghna Gulzar wrote, “Towards our finish line. #Daayra in cinemas on 18th September 2026...(sic).” Amid the BTS sequences, the video caption reads, “Some lines are drawn. Some are crossed. A choice awaits (sic).”

Daayra brings Kareena and Prithviraj together on screen for the first time. Kareena, who has worked in Hindi cinema for more than 25 years, was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again (2024). Prithviraj, who received praise for his performance in The Goat Life (2024), was last seen in Vilayath Budha (2025).
