The gripping teaser for the upcoming biographical drama COSTAO, starring the ever-versatile Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead role is out.
Directed by Sejal Shah, the film COSTAO is inspired by the extraordinary life of Mr Costao Fernandes, a maverick customs officer from Goa who bravely took on one of the region’s most powerful smugglers in the 1990s.
The teaser hints at yet another intense and compelling performance by Nawazuddin Siddiqui as he portrays both the personal sacrifices and professional challenges faced by Mr Fernandes during his fearless mission.
With sharp dialogue delivery and raw emotional depth, Costao looks set to be another riveting addition to Nawazuddin’s powerful body of work.
Introducing the film’s premise, ZEE5 wrote: “A hero with no cape – just a white uniform, unshakeable courage, and the will to stand for what is right.”
The film is produced by Vinod Bhanushali, Kamlesh Bhanushali, Bhavesh Mandalia, Sejal Shah, Shyam Sunder, and Faizuddin Siddiqui.
It is presented by Bhanushali Studios Limited in association with Bombay Fables Motion Pictures.
