Sonu Sood embarks on directorial journey with 'Fateh', Welcomes esteemed actor Naseeruddin Shah to the cast

Sonu posted pictures from a script reading session with Naseeruddin Shah. In his post, Sonu expressed his admiration and excitement, writing, "Welcome on board Naseer sir. Directing someone I have admired all my life was so special. You will be proud of FATEH sir."

Reports suggest that Naseeruddin Shah will play a hacker in this new movie, which is a thriller about cybercrime. His character is crucial to the story and will play a big part in moving the plot forward.

The movie 'Fateh' is particularly special because it marks Sonu Sood's first time directing a film. It focuses on stories of cybercrime that happen in real life. The movie also features actress Jacqueline Fernandez and is expected to be released in theaters later this year.

This new role as a director is a significant step for Sonu Sood, who has been known primarily for his acting. Directing a movie allows him to put his vision on screen in a way that being in front of the camera does not. 'Fateh' gives him the chance to tackle a relevant issue—cybercrime—while also telling a compelling story. It’s clear that Sonu is deeply committed to this project, not just in directing but also in bringing a meaningful narrative to the audience. With his debut, he joins the ranks of actors who have successfully taken on the dual roles of acting and directing, promising to bring something new and exciting to his fans.
