Shikari (transl. Hunter) is a 2016 Bangladeshi-Indian joint venture action thriller film directed by Joydip Mukherjee and Zakir Hossain Simanto. It was produced by Abdul Aziz and co-produced by 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 Lily Chakravarty, Amit Hasan, Kharaj Mukherjee, and Supriyo Dutta in supporting roles. The soundtrack album and background score of the film have been composed by Indraadip Dasgupta.
A collaborative Jaaz-Eskay project involving Khan was first reported during mid-2014. However, the project was later shelved due to the 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.
