#ManojBajpayee leads as the sharp-witted Zende, locked in a tense game of cat and mouse with Jim Sarbh’s charming yet elusive Carl Bhojraj. Joined by veterans #SachinKhedekar and #BhalchandraKadam, #HarishDudhade, #OnkarRaut, #BharatSavale, #NitinBhajan as Zende’s trusted team, #GirijaOak and #VaibhavMangale in pivotal roles, their camaraderie and witty banter keep the pursuit as entertaining as it is intense. The high-stakes hunt races through cities and culminates in Goa, where sharp instincts and seamless teamwork lead to Carl’s dramatic capture.

Talking about his experience, Manoj Bajpayee shares, “What fascinated me about Inspector Zende was that he wasn’t chasing glory — he was just doing his job, yet caught one of the most notorious criminals twice. His bravery, humour, and that unmistakable Mumbai flavour make his journey truly inspiring. Meeting him felt like stepping into a storybook, with a lifetime of tales to tell. Playing him let me dive into a world that’s as gritty as it is entertaining. The trailer is only a glimpse — the film takes you right into the heart of it. I’m glad his story is finally getting the spotlight it deserves, and that too globally on Netflix.”

Director #ChinmayDMandlekar added, “Inspector Zende’s real-life chase had all the ingredients of a gripping film: a larger-than-life cop, a slippery antagonist, and an unforgettable era of Mumbai. But what really stayed with me was the camaraderie, the small moments, and the quirks of the people involved. The trailer hints at the chase, but the film lets you live every beat of it. I can’t wait for audiences to experience it on Netflix.”

Two escapes. One relentless hero cop. And an untold chase that rewrote crime history. This September, the Swimsuit Killer meets his match twice over.

Watch the trailer now. Stream Inspector Zende beginning September 5, only on Netflix.

“If I weren’t an actor, I would have pursued graphic design and advertising, which I had a good base in. At a critical point in my life, I prioritized acting because it was my passion. I believe this is the only profession where I truly find happiness,” he said.

“When asked at National School of Drama (NSD) why I wanted to be an actor, I explained that as a designer and advertiser, I was behind the screen, but now I want to be on screen. I wanted to showcase my persona and share myself with people, so I became an actor to gain identity,” he added. His source of learning in acting was NSD. “Once you come to Mumbai, you have to accept the lifestyle here, and once you know how to navigate the city, you can learn acting. The books I read, the films I watch, the events that unfold, and how I respond to them, observing characters around me, understanding relationships as a father, husband, and son, and the responsibilities I take on – all these experiences teach me a lot. They greatly help me in acting,” he said.

“Life observation and a positive attitude towards life teach you acting. Reading good books, watching films, meeting inspiring people, and practicing and honing your craft are the sources of learning acting,” he added.

Nitin has been a part of the Marathi industry as well. He was seen in Marathi film Sumi on Planet Marathi, web series Hutatma on Zee5 as well as Marathi TV show: Tumchi Mulgi Kaay Karte. He will soon be seen in web series Blinded, which is directed by Ken Ghosh.

What kind of roles are you currently looking for? “I want roles that challenge my capacity as an actor. I prefer stories and films where I love the script, regardless of the character’s shades. The film’s story attracts me, and I focus on the script rather than the characters,” he said.

“Characters like Manoj Bajpayee in Joram, or the characters that Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Irfan Khan portrayed are inspiring. Their characters are complex and hard to categorize. When someone gives me a good brief, it draws me in. For example, when I heard the story of Chandu Champion, it really attracted me to take on the role. I enjoy playing subtle characters that represent different aspects of human life,” Nitin ended.
