Bobby Deol's Bandar postponed to June, avoids May box office clash
Bobby Deol's Bandar has been pushed to June. The new date keeps it clear of two May releases and places it a day after Yash's Toxic.
The makers of Bobby Deol-starrer Bandar have officially announced that the film will release in cinemas worldwide on June 5, 2026. The film was earlier scheduled to arrive on May 22, but that date would have seen it clash with Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai and Chaand Mera Dil.
With the revised release plan, Bandar will now open a day after Yash's pan-India film Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown Ups. The film features Bobby Deol in the lead and has an ensemble cast that includes Sanya Malhotra, Raj B Shetty, Jitendra Joshi, Sapna Pabbi, Indrajith Sukumaran, Riddhi Sen, Saba Azad and Nagesh Bhosle in pivotal roles.
Bandar is directed by Anurag Kashyap and written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee. The film is produced by Nikhil Dwivedi and backed by Zee Studios. Sharma and Banerjee are known for work on Paatal Lok, Kohrra, Udta Punjab and Kohrra 2.
Kashyap is known for his storytelling and has previously directed films such as Black Friday, Dev D and Gangs of Wasseypur. Black Friday, a reconstruction of the 1993 Mumbai blasts, received critical praise and was banned in India because it named the accused while the matter was sub judice. Dev D later gained cult status for its experimental style and music, while the two-part Gangs of Wasseypur became known for its violence, dark humour and layered storytelling.
Bandar also marks Bobby Deol's next release after a run of notable performances, with the actor taking on the lead role in the drama. The project brings together a cast and creative team led by Kashyap, with support from writers Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee.
To sum up, Bandar has shifted from its earlier May 22 release and will now arrive in theatres on June 5, 2026. Starring Bobby Deol and an ensemble cast, the film is backed by Zee Studios and produced by Nikhil Dwivedi, with Anurag Kashyap directing.
