The first motion poster for Pratap wastes little time setting up its central question: what turns a decorated police officer into an accused man? Starring Amit Sadh, the film revealed its motion poster on October 22, and the trailer is set to arrive on October 26, 2026.
Sachin Saraf writes and directs the thriller. Pratap follows an encounter specialist whose professional and personal fall puts the principles he once represented on trial. The film is scheduled to open in theatres on November 20, 2026.
What the motion poster shows
The poster opens with a rush of newspaper headlines rather than a conventional hero shot: a dismissed officer, an NIA investigation, a high-profile bomb scare, and a possible link to an influential industrialist. It then settles on Amit Sadh behind bars, positioning the cop as the subject of inquiry rather than the person asking questions.
The makers put the question plainly in the campaign line: “What Happens When the Cop Becomes the Target?” It hints at a thriller built on shifting loyalties, with law enforcement and power as its fault lines.
Why the setup matters
Hindi cinema has repeatedly used the cop-under-scrutiny story to examine how institutions protect their own and what happens when the person enforcing the law is abandoned by it. By pairing that idea with an NIA angle and a bomb-scare case, Pratap is reaching for a wider procedural canvas, not just a personal revenge story. The stakes are institutional as much as personal.
The casting strengthens that ambition. Alongside Amit Sadh, the film features Esha Deol, Seema Biswas and Tigmanshu Dhulia. Seema Biswas and Tigmanshu Dhulia bring long experience with dramatic roles, though the producers have not yet revealed full character details.
What has been confirmed so far
- Written and directed by Sachin Saraf.
- Produced by Pradeep Rangwani and UV Films.
- Cast includes Amit Sadh, Esha Deol, Seema Biswas and Tigmanshu Dhulia.
- Motion poster revealed with a cop-behind-bars image.

The poster leaves the core case deliberately incomplete. It does not explain why the encounter specialist is behind bars, what role the industrialist plays, or how the bomb scare connects to the protagonist. The October 26 trailer is the next place to look for those answers.
What to watch in the trailer
For regular Hindi cinema viewers, three details deserve attention: how openly the trailer names the NIA and the industrialist, how much screen time the ensemble gets beyond Sadh, and whether the film treats its protagonist’s past as heroic, ambiguous or something he must defend. That tone will decide whether Pratap lands as a procedural, a conspiracy thriller, or a character study.
