Rajiv Rai Returns with a Bang — Presents “ZORA”, a Gritty Suspense Thriller with a Fresh New Cast

Mumbai, 4th August 2025 — Acclaimed filmmaker Rajiv Rai , the visionary behind unforgettable blockbusters like Tridev, Vishwatma, Mohra, and  Gupt, is set to make a much-awaited comeback with his latest film ZORA, releasing on August 8, 2025.
After a long sabbatical and years abroad, Rajiv Rai is back — but with a fresh and bold approach. Moving away from star-studded casts and extravagant budgets, ZORA is a fast-paced suspense and murder thriller featuring over 40 new faces from the northern Hindi belt. This marks a new chapter for Trimurti Films Pvt Ltd, known for its grand cinematic storytelling.
“This is my most interesting film to date,” says Rai. “Though made on a modest budget, ZORA doesn’t compromise on storytelling or technical finesse. It’s a massy, edge-of-the-seat entertainer with a strong cinematic soul. There are no musical numbers except one powerful track by Viju Shah, and a gripping background score that flows uninterrupted.”
One of the standout performers in the film is *Gajendra Rathi*, who plays the pivotal role of an advocate and the father of the heroine. A seasoned theatre and film actor, Rathi brings depth, gravitas, and emotional strength to his character. His commanding screen presence and nuanced performance are sure to leave a lasting impression on audiences.
Rai adds, “I’ve always believed in spotting and nurturing fresh talent. ZORA is a reflection of that spirit — rugged, stylish, and created for the masses with intelligence and heart.”
As Rajiv Rai returns to his roots — Indian cinema and its masses — expectations are high. ZORA promises to be a gripping, no-frills thriller that reminds audiences of Rai’s signature flair while introducing a bold new chapter in his legacy.
ZORA hits theatres nationwide on August 8, 2025.
