The poster features Rinzing at the centre, with a child by his side. Squad revolves around the battle between the nation's special forces and a little girl, who has lost everyone in her life, at the centre of it. With patriotism and emotions at its heart, Squad also has high-octane action sequences involving MiG-8 aircraft, helicopter chases and 400 soldiers in a never-before-seen climax scene that is expected will blow everyone’s mind. It is the first Indian film to be shot in Belarus.
The film has already had an international crew working on its action sequences. Kier Beck who worked on Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), camera assistant William Humphris (Quantum of Solace, 2008), and stunt choreographer, Maciej Kwiatowski (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, 2015) are among the names associated with the project.
Rinzing said Squad has been an amazing journey. "We’ve seen everything through this film — extreme weather and logistic issues due to restrictions during the pandemic but yet we were more on top. I’m proud to have this as my debut film and it’s been an honour working with Nilesh. I am truly looking forward to the audience experiencing the spectacle that Squad is," he said.
Nilesh Sahay, who is also producing the film, said, “While we faced many challenges due to the pandemic, the film was completed without compromising on quality and I am certain that Squad will set a benchmark when it comes to action sequences in Indian films. I am happy that the film is being released on Zee5 and will reach the global audience. I hope people will find it as thrilling as it was for us shooting the film”.
Manish Kalra, chief business officer, Zee5 India said action as a genre works well across the globe and on the platform. "This Zee5 Original Film will break records with its high-scale, high-octane and high-magnitude action sequences. So, get set to feel the rush with this edge-of-the-seat patriotic entertainer which has an internationally acclaimed crew to its credits," he said.
Squad will also feature Pooja Batra, Mohan Kapur and Amit Gaur.
