Netflix India released the trailer for Class of 83 on Friday, an upcoming police drama starring Bobby Deol and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment by Shah Rukh Khan. The film, directed by Atul Sabharwal, is scheduled on streaming platform for a release on August 21.

In the film, Bobby plays a heroic former policeman who has been reassigned to the Nashik police academy as an instructor.

Spotting new talent but mindful of the red tape that hinders his work, Bobby's character brings together a clandestine task force specialized in pulling off encounter killings. "Sometimes law must be sacrificed to enforce order," says one character in the trailer.

The film marks Red Chillies’ third collaboration with Netflix, following the shows Bard of Blood and Betaal. It marks Bobby’s return to a starring role after several years. The actor had said in a statement on Thursday, “When Atul Sabharwal (director) and Red Chillies Entertainment approached me, I was drawn by the intensity and depth of the character and knew right away that I had to be part of Class Of 83.

It is my first attempt on digital and it also happens to be the first film by RCE and Netflix together. It is an exciting and challenging time to be an actor, and I am super excited that everyone gets to see the trailer tomorrow and the film on August 21.”

Class of 83 also stars Annup Soni, Joy Sengupta, Ninad Mahajani, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Bhupendra Jadawat, Sameer Paranjape, Hitesh Bhojraj and Prithvik Pratap.



Netflix India recently released Choked, directed by Anurag Kashyap, the Anushka Sharma-produced fantasy drama Bulbbul, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s noir mystery Raat Akeli Hai, and is gearing up for the release of the biopic Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, starring Janhvi Kapoor.
