Filmmaker Suresh Triveni is fast cementing his position as one of the most prominent storytellers in contemporary Indian cinema, and the first quarter of 2026 already has his stamp all over it with three major genres. Leading this momentum is Daldal, a suspense thriller where Suresh Triveni serves as showrunner, starring Bhumi Pednekar in a powerful, performance-driven role.
The series has received rave reviews for its grounded storytelling, moral complexity, and tightly wound tension. Early reactions have been especially strong, with viewers calling it “Daldal messes with your head in the best way possible,” while others note, “#Daldal turned out to be a pleasant surprise, not an easily likeable show with its strong depiction of violence and gore, but one that rewards patience with a powerful payoff.”
Adding a completely different flavour to his slate is Maa Behen, positioned as a major social-comedy and already drawing an impressive response across industry and audiences. Featuring Madhuri Dixit and Tripti Dimri, the film highlights Suresh Triveni’s ability to blend humour with sharp social insight, proving his versatility beyond darker narratives and reinforcing his strength in emotionally intelligent, audience-forward storytelling.
Equally significant is Subedaar, an action-drama whose recently unveiled poster has been widely admired for its restraint, authority, and moral weight. Set to release soon on Amazon Prime Video, the film stars cinema icon Anil Kapoor in a rugged, commanding avatar, signalling Suresh Triveni’s modern take on power, masculinity, and consequence-driven action. The first look alone has generated strong buzz, positioning Subedaar as one of the most anticipated releases on the platform.
Adding further weight to his growing influence, Suresh Triveni is also the co-founder of Opening Image Studio, a creator-led production banner backed by Abundantia Entertainment. From his much-loved debut Tumhari Sulu to the intense drama Jalsaa, he has consistently balanced mainstream accessibility with narrative depth, a sensibility that first earned him recognition through his iconic advertising work, most notably the IPL Mauka Mauka (2015) campaign and Star India’s IPL films featuring MS Dhoni and Hardik Pandya. With three distinct projects already generating buzz across genres and platforms, Suresh Triveni is not merely enjoying a prolific phase, he is unmistakably leaving his mark.
