FORMER INDIAN CRICKETER Shikhar Dhawan has joined forces with Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor for a promotional video for the upcoming film Subedaar, set to release worldwide on Prime Video on 5 March.
Known as ‘Mr. ICC’ for his performances in major tournaments, Dhawan appears alongside Kapoor, who plays retired soldier Arjun Maurya in the film, blending sporting intensity with cinematic drama.
The campaign positions both personalities as fearless competitors ready to face challenges whether on the cricket field or on the battlefield, creating a narrative designed to resonate with audiences nationwide.
Dhawan said, “It was a great experience shooting for the Subedaar movie campaign with Mr. Anil Kapoor. The way he brings alive every character rubs off on you. With this campaign, you can feel that fighting spirit throughout, the mindset of standing strong and giving everything you’ve got. That’s something I connect with deeply and have applied on the cricket field. I believe people will also feel that emotion and energy when they watch it.”
Kapoor added, “The story of movie Subedaar is rooted in courage, resilience and the spirit of never giving up. Those are qualities that define great sportspersons as well. Shikhar carries that fighter’s instinct naturally, and you can feel that strength and positivity when you work with him. It was a pleasure sharing the screen with someone who represents that spirit so authentically.”
