Netflix has released the trailer for its highly anticipated crime drama, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, directed by Neeraj Pandey. Featuring Jimmy Shergill, Avinash Tiwary, and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film is produced by Friday Storytellers.
According to the Indian media, the story follows a police officer’s obsessive quest to solve a diamond heist, raising the question: at what cost? As the investigation unfolds, doubts emerge: Are the three suspects guilty, or is there more to this case than meets the eye?
Set against the backdrop of a daring 2008 diamond exhibition heist, Investigating Officer Jaswinder Singh (played by Jimmy Shergill) focuses on three prime suspects, guided by his instincts—Kamini Singh (Tamannaah Bhatia), Sikandar Sharma (Avinash Tiwary), and Mangesh Desai (Rajiv Mehta). As the case deepens, the distinction between guilt and innocence becomes increasingly unclear, driving Jaswinder’s obsession to new heights.
