The makers of the upcoming investigative drama Daayra have unveiled a fresh character poster featuring actor Prithviraj Sukumaran as Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Raman Kumar. The artwork introduces Sukumaran as an uncompromising law enforcement officer dedicated to maintaining order and adhering strictly to his personal principles. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, Daayra is scheduled for a simultaneous theatrical release in Hindi and Malayalam on September 18, 2026.
In the newly released poster, Sukumaran stands outdoors in a police uniform, holding a torch against a moody, rain-soaked backdrop. His portrayal of DCP Raman Kumar showcases a duty-bound officer whose firm sense of discipline places him at the center of a complex legal and moral dilemma. The visual release follows a companion character poster of co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan, who plays DCP Ajooni Kohli in the film. ‘Daayra’: Get Closer Look at Kareena Kapoor Khan’s DCP Ajooni Kohli and New BTS Footage Today at 4 PM.
