Director Neeraj Pandey, known for his treasure hunt in Saat Uchakkey, is yet again back with a Diamond Heist, this time with Sikandar Ka Muqaddar on Netflix. One of the most anticipated crime thrillers this season, it will be released on November 29, 2024.

The trailer launch event held in Mumbai saw the presence of Director Neeraj Pandey, along with actors Jimmy Shergill, Tamannaah Bhatia, Avinash Tiwary and Rajiv Mehta. The trailer delivered a gripping narrative starring Jimmi Shergill as a relentless Police officer Jaswinder Singh in a pursuit to solve a Diamond Heist. Based on his Moolvriti (instincts) Jaswinder investigates a diamond theft zeroing down against his three suspects - Sikandar Sharma (Avinash Tiwari), Kamini Singh ( Tamannaah Bhatia)  and Mangesh Desai ( Rajiv Mehta).


The trailer launch itself created a thrill for the audience present, with a live stunt. Shergill's character, Jaswinder, smashed his suspect Sikandar into a full-sized mirror, which gave a peep into the kind of thrill the film promises.

Talking about what makes the film different in captivating the audiences, Director Neeraj Pandey says, “As a storyteller, I always look forward to bringing something intriguing, thrilling and engaging to the audiences and we hope they will love this film as much as we enjoyed making the film with all the crew, which will keep them engaged till the climax,”


Rachikaa Kapoor Shaikh calls Sikander Ka Muqaddar an exciting cat-and-mouse game with a lot of twists and turns to keep the audiences hooked to the edges of their seats. The film explores complex human behaviours, deceptive characters and shades to explore justice and survival with masterful storytelling by Neeraj Pandey, all set to intrigue the audience about who is the real culprit!”


While Jimmy Shergill looked dapper in his beard, he enthralled the audience with the dialogue, “ Teri biopic ka title hai Sikandar Ka Muqaddar jiska director hoon main.”

Talking about working with Neeraj Pandey again says, Neeraj has been an old friend, it was a pleasure working with him. I read the script, discussed and then we worked on the dialogues. We all worked hard to give those long shots, which has its mood. I hope the audiences  would love the film and am inquisitive about how they will connect the dots as the mystery and the plot unveils on 29th November.”


Tamannaah talks about playing a transformative less glamorous character, and says, “This role was different because I am mostly put to do romantic roles, although I have done serious roles in South. This role allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, while my character is vulnerable, yet unfolds a lot of strength. I enjoyed working with Avinash as a co-star who is a very effortless actor.”


Avinash talking about his stint working with the ace director says, “It was a go-with-the-flow kind of experience to work with Neeraj Pandey who’s always on a go and takes quick decisions. It’s a very focused set and we had many long steady shots in the film, which the audience will love.”


Rajiv reminiscing one of the shots while he was in the middle of a thought process tells how Neeraj Pandey gave him the freedom of expression to do the lines, and concluded.
