A new Hindi-language film led by Saif Ali Khan will premiere on Netflix on May 15, the streamer said in a statement.
Titled Kartavya, the film is written and directed by Pulkit and produced by Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment. The project marks another collaboration between Netflix and the Shah Rukh Khan-backed production house.

The film follows a police officer, played by Khan, as he confronts rising threats while balancing the demands of duty and the safety of his family.
Set in the Indian heartland, the narrative examines questions of morality, power, and accountability as the lines between right and wrong begin to blur.
The cast includes Rasika Dugal, Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, and Manish Chaudhari. The film also marks the acting debut of Saurabh Dwivedi.
Venky Mysore, CEO of Red Chillies Entertainment, said the film “asks difficult questions, about duty, about conscience, and about the choices we make when there are no easy answers.”
He added that Pulkit’s storytelling, combined with performances from the ensemble cast, gives the film “a powerful and authentic voice.”
Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, director of Original Films at Netflix India, said the film explores the complexity of making the “right” choices. She noted that the project builds on the platform’s ongoing collaborations with Pulkit and Red Chillies Entertainment, following their earlier work including Bhakshak.
“The story draws from the lived realities of Indian hinterlands while speaking to themes that travel far beyond its immediate setting,” she said.
