Mumbai: The upcoming action-thriller film 'Kandahar' which stars Hollywood actor Gerard Butler and Indian actor Ali Fazal is all set to premier exclusively in a major OTT platform. The film, which is directed by Ric Roman Waugh, features Navid Negahban, Bahador Foladi, Nina Toussaint-White, Vassilis Koukalani, Mark Arnold, Corey Johnson, and Abdullah Alnaji in main roles.
'Kandahar' follows the story of an undercover CIA operative, Tom Harris (Gerard Butler), taking viewers on an adrenaline-fueled journey deep into a hostile territory in Afghanistan. When an intelligence leak exposes his identity and mission, he must navigate through the perilous obstacles alongside his Afghan translator Mo (Navid Negahban), to an extraction point in Kandahar, all whilst avoiding the elite special forces unit tasked with hunting them down.
Ali Fazal plays the role of Kahil in the movie who goes up against Tom Harris in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. The movie draws inspiration from true events from the life of a former military intelligence officer. "Release of 'Kandahar' on Prime Video in India is a homecoming of sorts for me," says actor Ali Fazal, who is known for his performances in Hollywood movie 'Victoria and Abdul' and Hindi films like 'Mirzapur'.
"Shooting Kandahar with Gerard Butler and the entire team in a different landscape was a truly gratifying experience for me as an actor. With power-packed action and an adrenaline-filled ride, I cannot wait for viewers to watch this thrilling entertainer".
Produced by Thunder Road Pictures, G-BASE, Capstone Studios and MBC Studios, 'Kandahar' will start streaming on Prime Video from June 16. The movie will be available in English, along with dubs in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
