Director’s Vision
The director emphasized that without emotion, scale has no meaning. He described Subedar as a story about a father-daughter relationship and a man’s search for identity. The film was shot over 44 days across different cities. He also remarked that for the lead actor, age is just a number.
A representative from Prime Video mentioned that this is one of their biggest commercial films, releasing in 240 countries, offering a global platform while retaining Indian emotions.
Nikhil Madhok added that while the story is rooted in a small-town setting with grounded characters, it is presented on a large international scale, blending Indian emotions with global appeal.
