Shikari (transl. Hunter)[3][4] is a 2016 Indian-Bangladeshi joint venture action thriller film directed by Joydip Mukherjee and Zakir Hossain Simanto. It was produced by Abdul Aziz and Himanshu Dhanuka under the Jaaz Multimedia and Eskay Movies banners. It stars Shakib Khan, Srabanti Chatterjee, Rahul Dev and Sabyasachi Chakrabarty in pivotal roles and centers around Khan, a disguised professional assassin with a mysterious past, tasked with assassinating a top government official. The film also features Amit Hasan, Kharaj Mukherjee, and Shupriyo Dutta in supporting roles.[5] The soundtrack album and background score of the film have been composed by Indraadip Dasgupta.[6]

A collaborative Jaaz-Eskay project involving Khan was first reported during mid 2014. However, the project was later shelved due to unavailability of the actor. The film was originally planned to be a multi-starrer film in numerous media reports. Eskay Movies and Jaaz Multimedia intended to begin production of the film again after revisions in the script. The production was officially announced by Eskay and Jaaz in January 2016, and Zakir Hossain Simanto and Joydip Mukherjee were hired as directors.Some of the film and songs were shot in London.

The film was released in Bangladesh on 7 July 2016 and became the 2nd highest-grossing Bangladeshi film of 2016.[7][8][9] For the film Khan won his eighth Meril-Prothom Alo Awards for Best Actor and was nominated in critics choice Best Actor category.[10]

It is an official remake of the 2009 Tamil film Aadhavan which was itself inspired from the 1990 Malayalam film His Highness Abdullah.[11][12]

Dev Roy, an influential child trafficker hires Sultan to kill prominent Judge Rudro Chowdhury, since he is handling the inquiry and verdict on Dev Roy's child trafficking case in Kolkata.[6] Sultan arrives in Kolkata and attempts to murder Judge Chowdhury by sniping, but misfires due to a large crowd and media around the Judge.[13] The West Bengal Police force chases after him, but ultimately fails to catch him. After Dev Roy insults him for his inability, Sultan is angry with himself, and vows to kill Judge Chowdhury within ten days.[14][15]

Sultan enters Judge Chowdhury's household disguising as a servant, and slowly begins to win over the members of the family.[16]
