Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh play the main characters in Inspector Zende, a humorous drama about an unlikely hero police officer that will soon be available on a major digital platform. Chinmay D. Mandlekar is the director and writer of the film, which is loosely based on a true tale. It depicts a resolute police officer who must find the notorious "Swimsuit Killer" at all means after he escapes Tihar Jail through the meandering alleys of Mumbai in the 1970s and 1980s.
Netflix India revealed on August 7 that Inspector Zende, a brand-new police thriller, would debut on the over-the-top service on September 5. Jim Sarbh and Manoj Bajpayee play the main parts.

Netflix posted a social media announcement for the film with the following caption: "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."
