Kareena Kapoor Khan shares "raw and unseen" bts video from 'Daayra'
Mumbai, June 18
With just days left before the promotional campaign for 'Daayra' gathers pace, Kareena Kapoor Khan has given fans a glimpse into the making of the upcoming thriller by sharing a "raw and unseen" behind-the-scenes video from the film.
Bebo on Thursday posted an exclusive BTS clip from 'Daayra' on Instagram. The film directed by Meghna Gulzar, is slated to hit theatres on September 18, 2026. The video offers a first look at several moments from the film's production, including large-scale outdoor shoots, police vehicles, night sequences and Kareena dressed in a police uniform.
Sharing the clip on social media, Kareena described it as "raw and unseen" footage from the sets and wrote, "This one is for the books... Raw and unseen. A sneak peek behind the scenes of DAAYRA. #Daayra arrives in cinemas on 18th September."
The visuals suggest that Daayra will revolve around a high-stakes investigation, with scenes hinting at crime, law enforcement and courtroom-style proceedings. While the makers have kept the plot under wraps, the newly released footage points to an intense narrative rooted in themes of justice and accountability.
Take a look
Starring Kareena Kapoor Khan alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran, Daayra marks Meghna Gulzar's third collaboration with Junglee Pictures after 'Raazi' and 'Talvar.'
'Daayra' explores how a single disturbing act can trigger equal and opposite reactions, shaping public opinion and raising complex moral questions. The film delves into the grey areas of justice and truth, encouraging audiences to reflect rather than offering easy answers, as per the press release.
Written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar, the thriller was announced last year, with Kareena expressing her excitement about working with the filmmaker and co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran.
Produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios, Daayra is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 18, 2026.

I love how Meghna Gulzar doesn't shy away from complex themes. "Grey areas of justice" sounds exactly like her style. But honestly, can Bollywood stop hyping things so early? 2026 release and already BTS videos? 😅 Let's see if the film delivers. Talvar was a masterpiece, so expectations are high.
Kareena in a police uniform? Now that's something I want to see! She's one of the few actresses who can pull off both glam and gritty roles. The "single act triggering equal reactions" premise reminds me of some real-life cases we see in India. Hope the film doesn't whitewash the issues.
Meghna Gulzar + Junglee Pictures = quality guaranteed. Raazi and Talvar were both critically acclaimed. This "Daayra" seems like a crime thriller with moral questions - just what we need. But why release in 2026? That's too far. Also, please don't make Prithviraj's role just a cameo. He deserves proper screen time.
This BTS looks promising! Kareena is aging like fine wine. But I have one small criticism - these teaser campaigns often show too much, and then the actual film feels underwhelming. Remember how they hyped "Laal Singh Chaddha"? 😬 I hope Meghna Gulzar keeps the surprises for the theatre. Also, the title "Daayra" - interesting choice. Circles of justice, maybe?
