Written by Mitchell LaFortune, Kandahar follows the story of an undercover CIA operative, Tom Harris (Gerard Butler), taking viewers on an adrenaline-fueled journey deep into hostile territory in Afghanistan.

“Kandahar releasing on Prime Video in India is a homecoming of sorts for me,” shared Actor Ali Fazal. “Shooting Kandahar with Gerard Butler and the entire team in a different landscape was a truly gratifying experience for me as an actor. With power-packed action and an adrenaline-filled ride, I cannot wait for viewers to watch this thrilling entertainer on Prime Video.”
