Meanwhile, on the work front, Ali is basking in the success of 'Raakh', which is loosely based on the tragic and infamous siblings' kidnapping and murder case.
Set in late-1970s Delhi, the show revolves around the aftermath of a brutal crime that leaves families devastated and an entire city living in fear, with Fazal essaying the role of a Sub-Inspector Jayprakash.
Directed and executive produced by Prosit Roy, created, written, and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, with dialogues by Ayush Trivedi, the investigative thriller features Sonali Bendre, Ali Fazal, and Aamir Bashir in lead roles, along with Akash Makhija, Ramandeep Yadav, Divya Sharma, Vivaan Sharma, Anshul Chauhan, Rakesh Bedi, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in pivotal roles.
Reflecting on the emotions evoked by the story, Fazal said that the experience began long before the cameras started rolling. By the time we reached the set, I kept them limited to Jayprakash (his character in the web show) because there was a great need for it there," he told ANI.
Speaking about his character, Fazal shared that Jayprakash is someone who never lets his emotions come out easily while focusing on a larger purpose.
"He too is such a person who cannot show much and tries to keep everything inside himself because he has to solve this. It's a bigger problem to solve, bigger things to achieve, the next thing and the next thing," he added.
