Bobby Deol is feeling lucky these days. The actor has finally found a role that pushes him to give his best performance with his upcoming film "Bandar".
Helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, the project will be Bobby’s first collaboration with the director.
The film recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival under the segment of Special Presentations.
Inspired by true events, the film follows the journey of a fading star who is accused of rape by his ex-girlfriend. The movie aims to shine a light on systemic injustices, silenced voices in courtrooms, and the harsh realities of a deeply flawed legal framework.
“We all dream of playing characters that bring out the best in us, but such opportunities are not easy to come by. The biggest struggle in this industry is to be recognised for one’s true capabilities. I feel really lucky to have got this opportunity,” Deol said in an interview.

Deol, who has been praised for his performances in films and shows such as “Animal”, "Ashram" and most recently "The Ba***ds of Bollywood", said he never imagined his films would be screened at a prestigious film festival like TIFF.
"I just wanted to do a good character, which challenged me and was out of my comfort zone. And God has been kind. Love of people has given me that energy to work harder, for my fans. So, I'm excited for that film,” said the actor, who went to the TIFF to attend the film's world premiere.
Produced by Nikhil Dwivedi, “Bandar” also stars Sanya Malhotra, Saba Azad, and Sapna Pabbi.
