SRK Praises Subedaar
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently shared his thoughts on Subedaar. Taking to his social media platform X, the actor praised the film and applauded Anil Kapoor’s performance, highlighting the veteran star’s dedication to his craft.
The Pathaan actor wrote that he “thoroughly enjoyed” the film and commended Kapoor for delivering a restrained yet impactful performance. In his post, Shah Rukh Khan said that audiences can always expect Anil Kapoor to give his best to any role he takes on.
His post read: “Thoroughly enjoyed #Subedaar. You can always count on @AnilKapoor to give it his all — a restrained yet effective performance. His dedication to the craft is inspiring, and the action was so good!!!”
Anurag Kashyap Calls It A Big-Screen Film
The action drama has also received praise from several people in the film industry. Earlier on Saturday, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap took to Instagram to pen a long note, sharing how Subedaar was clearly “shot on anamorphic for the big screen.”
“SUBEDAAR on @primevideoin should have been a theatrical. Would have loved to experience it in cinemas; it’s clearly shot on anamorphic for the big screen, designed for the big screen. @sureshtriveni_ creates an immersive world of Bundelkhand/Chambal, complete with its patriarchy and entitlement, where women are as patriarchal as men, and those who aren’t fight like men in this male-dominated hinterland of the Beehad that once gave rise to Phoolan Devi,” wrote the Gangs of Wasseypur director.
