Filmmaker Suresh Triveni expressed his excitement and talked about the huge moment. He shared, “I am very happy with the response the film is getting from India and worldwide. It shows that with a strong platform like Amazon Prime, filmmakers can explore newer territories."

Following the Times Square moment, Subedaar became the first Hindi film to light up at the world's busiest crosswalk in Shibuya, Japan.

The film’s growing international presence further underscores his distinct voice as a storyteller who seamlessly blends realism with emotional depth.

Subedaar, a gritty and emotionally intense action-drama, centres on retired soldier Subedaar Arjun Maurya, whose peaceful civilian existence is upended by a careless deed. He must deal with crime, corruption, and moral dilemmas after being forced to return to a chaotic world in order to defend his family and restore his honour.

Directed by Suresh Triveni, the film is produced by Anil Kapoor, Vikram Malhotra, and Triveni. Radhikka Madan plays important parts in the film alongside Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Faisal Malik, Mona Singh, and Khushboo Sundar.

The film has created a buzz at the international level. Acclaimed Hollywood filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie has reportedly reached out to Anil Kapoor after seeing portions of the film.
