20世纪80年代初,来自匹兹堡的瑞泽·夏普(西尔维斯特·史泰龙 Sylvester Stallone 饰)和基德·麦克唐(罗伯特·德尼罗 Robert De Niro 饰)上演了两场倾倒世人的经典拳击比赛。但在1984年的赛后不久,如日中天的瑞泽突然宣布退役,并很快花光所有财产,重新变回为了生计而出卖劳动力的普通工人。与之相对,基德也持续下滑,代言各种不入流的广告,靠卖嘴皮子打发时光。2014年的某天,瑞泽当年的经纪人之子小但丁(Mason Mackie 饰)找上门来,邀请他参与某款游戏的制作。谁知在制作现场,瑞泽和不请自来的基德大打出手,二人乱斗的视频在网络上疯传,他们的三十周年纪念之战也重新提上日程。
Saif Ali Khan, who will be seen playing a cop, shared his excitement, “Kartavya, which is really great, produced by Shah Rukh's company Red Chillies Entertainment, is going to come out soon. It's a lovely piece by director Pulkit, and really happy that too is coming out on Netflix.”
The film also features an ensemble cast including Rasika Duggal, Sanjay Mishra, Saurabh Dwivedi, Zakir Hussain, and Manish Chaudhari.
Team Kartavya shared - “Kartavya marks the second collaboration between Red Chillies Entertainment, Netflix, and director Pulkit, following Bhakshak. As a team, we are committed to telling stories that push creative boundaries and resonate deeply, and Kartavya is a powerful reflection of that vision. Set in the heartland, the film explores the complex intersections of law, family, truth, and duty, with Saif delivering remarkable depth and intensity in a morally layered character. We are delighted to partner with Netflix on this journey and look forward to audiences across the world experiencing this gripping and compelling narrative.”
With Kartavya, Red Chillies Entertainment adds another title to its growing slate of content created for global audiences, aligning with Netflix’s vision of showcasing powerful Indian stories to viewers worldwide.
