After a troubled police officer named Pawan returns from suspension, he finds himself investigating a chilling murder—one where the victim’s head is missing. As more bodies surface, he suspects a janitor named Pradeep, a quiet man whose dark past reveals a sinister pattern. Pawan's pursuit of the truth takes him deep into the eerie philosophy of Raja Kalandar, an ancient folk character who seeks balance by eliminating brilliance from the world.
Currently in pre-production, Raja Kalandar is finalising casting and location scouting. Filming is scheduled to begin shortly in Jaipur, capturing authentic locales and cultural nuances.
Expected to release in cinemas and on streaming platforms by mid-2026.
(Teaser and promotional artwork coming soon! Stay tuned for the first look at Raja Kalandar.)
Raja Kalandar is inspired by an eerie Indian folktale about maintaining societal balance by removing intelligence. The film modernises this philosophy through a gripping thriller narrative set in contemporary Jaipur. This unique plot explores psychological depths rarely seen in Indian cinema. It blends folklore with intense crime drama elements.
Raja Kalandar is set for release by mid-2026. It will premiere in theatres and will also be available on major OTT platforms shortly thereafter. The release will span multiple cities and countries, maximising audience reach. Detailed release dates will be announced closer to completion.
Currently, casting for Raja Kalandar is underway. Xcel Film Studios is dedicated to bringing together a stellar cast to authentically portray the complexities of the main characters. Prominent actors from the Hindi film industry are being considered. Full cast announcements will follow shortly.
Raja Kalandar is not based on a true event but inspired by a traditional Indian folktale of the same name. This folktale portrays a king who removes intelligent individuals to restore balance in his kingdom. Our film brings this concept to contemporary India, creating a psychological thriller with modern relevance. The film adds a fresh narrative and original characters to the traditional folktale.
Raja Kalandar stands apart due to its fusion of Indian folklore with contemporary crime and psychological drama. Its distinct character-driven narrative focuses on moral ambiguity and personal redemption. The setting against Jaipur’s political backdrop further enriches the storyline. It promises viewers a deeply engaging and thought-provoking cinematic experience.
