It’s a project close to my heart, and I hope audiences connect with its message and energy. As a filmmaker, my aim is to create a visual spectacle while delivering a story that resonates with today’s world.”

Directed by Sonu Sood, the film is set to offer an action-filled and thought-provoking storyline, focusing on the critical issue of cybercrime. The upcoming thriller marks Sood’s directorial debut and features a star-studded cast, including Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah.

"Fateh", is inspired by real-life instances of cybercrime that affected individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The film brings together a talented team, including renowned Hollywood professionals for cinematography, research, and action choreography.

The makers recently released the film's teaser, and it opened with the bold statement, “Never underestimate a nobody.” It then transitioned to a voiceover featuring Sonu, who is heard in a conversation with another person, clarifying that he killed 50 people on March 19, not 40. He ominously added, “You'll never find those ten bodies,” before concluding with, “Bhagvaan unki atma ko shanti de.”

Sharing the teaser, the actor captioned, “Aa Raha Hoon...Action speaks louder than words. #Fateh! Brace yourselves for the biggest action-packed thriller!”
