Anil Kapoor is generating buzz with his intense new avatar as Subedaar Arjun Morya in the teaser for the upcoming action-thriller Subedaar. The film is set to premiere globally on Prime Video on March 5, 2026.

The teaser showcases Kapoor in a gritty and determined role, a departure from some of his more recent characters. He is seen as an experienced combatant embroiled in a demanding, action-packed scenario. The actor's formidable persona is hard to miss, with a rough appearance and ferocious expression hinting at an exciting and intense narrative. The first-look poster, released prior to the teaser, had already gone viral, creating significant anticipation for the film.

In the teaser, Kapoor's character is inside a locked, dark room, clad in a striped white shirt, beige trousers, and slippers. Men are heard outside, attempting to break in while threatening the "subedaar". Seated calmly on a wooden chair in front of the door, he confidently prepares to confront them, wielding a gun. As the camera pans out, Kapoor's voiceover declares, "Fauji taiyar (the soldier is ready)". Some fans have drawn comparisons between Kapoor's stance and character to those of Kaleen Bhaiya from Mirzapur, and Balbir Singh from Animal.

Subedaar is directed by Suresh Triveni and produced by Vikram Malhotra, Anil Kapoor, and Suresh Triveni. Kapoor has stated that Subedaar is more than just an action film; it delves into themes of resilience, honor, family, and the relentless fights people face in life. The film is expected to explore a dangerous yet resilient world, with a story that "doesn't try to explain itself".
