Mumbai, July 24: Ali Fazal, currently enjoying the success of 'Mirzapur' Season 3, is gearing up to star in the upcoming series 'Rakht Brahmand'. He will play the lead opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu in this period fantasy drama, directed by Rahi Anil Barve of 'Tumbbad' fame and envisioned by Raj & DK.
According to sources, 'Rakht Brahmand' promises to push the boundaries of fantasy drama, with filming scheduled to commence in Mumbai next week. Ali Fazal will juggle his commitments on this series throughout August alongside other projects. His decision to join was spurred by the compelling vision of the show and the intriguing nature of his character, marking a departure from his previous roles.
Joining Ali in the cast are Aditya Roy Kapur and Wamiqa Gabbi in pivotal roles. 'Rakht Brahmand' marks another significant project for Ali, following the anticipation surrounding 'Metro In Dino' by Anurag Basu, Aamir Khan's 'Lahore 1947', and Mani Ratnam's 'Thug Life'.
