Inspector Zende to arrive on Netflix in September

The official Instagram account of Netflix India shared the news of Inspector Zende's release on OTT. The post features a newspaper with a big headline that says, “Zendebad, will the inspector be able to catch the swimsuit killer.”

About Inspector Zende

Loosely inspired by a true story, the plot of Inspector Zende is set in the bustling bylanes of 1970s and 1980s Mumbai. The story revolves around a determined police officer, Inspector Madhukar Zende, played by Manoj Bajpayee. Zende must track down an infamous serial killer, Carl Bhojraj, known as the Swimsuit Killer, after the latter escapes from Tihar Jail.

Carl Bhojraj is a clear nod to the real-life serial killer, Charles Sobhraj, who was famously apprehended by Inspector Madhukar Zende.

Written and helmed by Chinmay D. Mandlekar, the cop comedy also features Bhalchandra Kadam, Sachin Khedekar, Girija Oak, and Harish Dudhade in key roles.

Inspector Zende is jointly produced by Om Raut and Jay Shewakramani.
