After winning hearts with nuanced, character-driven stories like Tumhari Sulu and Jalsa, filmmaker Suresh Triveni is stepping into deeply emotional territory with Subedaar. The director recently revealed that the film carries profound personal significance for him, describing it as a tribute to the star who shaped his cinematic sensibilities — the film’s lead, Anil Kapoor.

Sharing a personal anecdote, Triveni said, “I’m a boy from Ranchi, and there was a whole Munna phase after Tezaab released. I clearly remember flaunting the Laadla orange shirt as a kid. For a small-town boy to imagine that he would one day direct his matinee idol is nothing short of a miracle.”
