The 1-minute-37-second teaser offers a pulse-pounding glimpse into Costao’s transformation—from a national hero to India’s most wanted man. Falsely accused of murder, he finds himself running from the very system he once served. Packed with suspense, striking visuals, and Nawazuddin’s signature intensity, the teaser teases a tale steeped in patriotism, betrayal, and the desperate search for truth. The makers unveiled it with the powerful line: “Before they called him a hero, they called him guilty”—a haunting hint of the moral grey zones the film is set to explore.
Costao is inspired by the real-life story of Mr. Costao Fernandes, a principled customs officer who took on one of Goa’s most dangerous gold smuggling networks in the 1990s. The film is presented by Bhanushali Studios Limited in association with Bombay Fables Motion Pictures and directed by Sejal Shah. Joining Nawazuddin are Priya Bapat, Kishore Kumar Huli, Gagan Dev Riar, and Hussain Dalal, forming a strong ensemble to bring this gripping saga to life.
The release date for Costao is yet to be announced, but the film is confirmed to stream on ZEE5. With a story grounded in truth and a lead performance that already promises fireworks, Costao is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated OTT releases. Brace yourselves for a ride through duty, deception, and redemption—because Nawazuddin’s not just playing a role, he’s embodying a revolution.
