OTT Thriller on Real Life Hero: Nawazuddin Back!

Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s film Costao is scheduled to arrive soon on Zee5. While a release date has not been confirmed, the film is directed by Sejal Shah, and a teaser of the same was released on April 14, 2025.

The teaser shows Nawazuddin playing the role of a customs official named Costao Fernandes, who is a responsible officer and fulfills his duties without getting involved in any kind of illegal activities. The teaser also revealed that the main character is a happily married man with a family.

The film is inspired from Costao Fernandes’ efforts in real life during the ’90s to stop a gold smuggling operation.

The latest glimpse features some sequences of gold smuggling, and it seems like Costao lands himself in some trouble, as we witness him getting ignored by other officers.

Apart from that, he is possibly trying to save himself and his family as the latter is also dragged into his problems, which emerge out of his honesty.

Why is Costao being targeted? Who is the main mastermind behind the conspiracy going on? Will Costao be able to save himself? Let’s wait until the film’s release to get all the answers.

Nawazuddin is a versatile actor, but it looks like he is wasting his talent by being a part of OTT films. Nawazuddin can leave a better impression on the big screen if he is cast for the best role, and it is the best time for him to search for such scripts.

Coming back to Costao, the premise looks interesting, and it might feature thrilling moments. However, it remains to be seen if the writer and director have added enough entertaining elements to keep the audience engaged until the end.

Hopefully, Costao should not disappoint, bringing viewership in large numbers for Zee5.
