Gerard Butler and Ali Fazal-starrer action-thriller “Kandahar” will premiere in India on Prime Video on June 16, the streaming platform announced Tuesday.

In the movie, Fazal plays the role of Kahil, who goes up against Tom Harris (Butler) in a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

“‘Kandahar’ releasing on Prime Video in India is a homecoming of sorts for me. Shooting with Gerard Butler and the entire team in a different landscape was a truly gratifying experience for me as an actor.

With power-packed action and an adrenaline-filled ride, I cannot wait for viewers to watch this thrilling entertainer on Prime Video,” Fazal said in a statement.
