A diamond heist, three suspects, one cop- Netflix and Neeraj Pandey's ‘Sikandar Ka Muqaddar’ trailer builds suspense

Netflix has unveiled the trailer for its much-anticipated crime drama, Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Sikandar Ka Muqaddar. Starring Jimmy Shergill, Avinash Tiwary, and Tamannaah Bhatia, the film is produced by Friday Storytellers. Sikandar Ka Muqaddar unravels a gripping tale of a police officer’s relentless pursuit to solve a diamond heist — but at what cost? As the tension builds, questions arise: Are the three suspects truly guilty, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?

In 2008, a daring heist at a diamond exhibition led to the Investigating Officer Jaswinder Singh (Jimmy Shergill) zeroing in on three suspects based on his moolvriti (instincts) - Kamini Singh (Tamannaah Bhatia), Sikandar Sharma (Avinash Tiwary), and Mangesh Desai (Rajiv Mehta). As the investigation deepens, the lines between guilt and innocence blur and Jaswinder’s pursuit turns into a relentless obsession.
