Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh have collaborated for an exciting Netflix film titled ‘Inspector Zende’, which is loosely based on the true story of the infamous Swimsuit Killer. Netflix has announced the project in a unique way by sharing a poster similar to a newspaper cutting.
Inspector Zende will release on Netflix on September 5, 2025. The story is set in the winding gullies of 70s and 80s Mumbai, when the infamous Swimsuit Killer breaks out of Tihar Jail, and a determined police officer is racing against time to track him down at all costs.
Announcing the film, Netflix India wrote, “Chor – police ka khel ab hoga shuru. Inspector Zende is now reporting for duty. Watch Inspector Zende, starring Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh, out 5 September, only on Netflix.”
