Bobby Deol and Sanya Malhotra are all set to star in Anurag Kashyap's upcoming movie Bandar (Monkey in a Cage), and fans have been eagerly waiting for its release.
The film's world premiere is scheduled for September 4 to 14 at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The filmmaker has recently discussed the movie and his experience working with Bobby.
During a recent interview with Sudhir Srinivasan on his YouTube channel, Anurag said, “A complete surrender for somebody who’s been a star for the longest period of his time, then he has seen a total lull, and then when he’s getting all kinds of big mainstream movies, he picks Bandar and says, ‘I want to do it.’”
He continued, “Because he’s thinking, ‘I’ve never been asked to just be vulnerable.’ He’s so vulnerable in the film, so emotionally naked. Every single scene he has performed is with such fantastic actors. Bandar is full of theatre actors, great actors from all languages, five National Award winners.”
The filmmaker further noted that the film was essentially a character study of Bobby’s role, but in every scene he shared the screen with remarkable actors who appeared for just two or three scenes.

He said, “The film is a character study of Bobby’s character, but in every scene, he’s sharing the screen with some incredible actor who’s come for two, three scenes. There’s Raj B Shetty in it, there’s Riddhi Sen from Nagarkirtan in it, Saba Azad, Sanya Malhotra, Jitendra Joshi, Nagesh Bhonsle, Sukant Goel, Ankush Gedam. And there are no junior artists in the film. They’re all theatre actors, some hundred theatre actors. But he is so vulnerable and put himself through it.”
The makers have recently released the first look at the film. The film is said to be inspired by true events.
