Shikari (transl. Hunter) 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 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.
