Ali Fazal is an actor who has always pushed the envelope when it comes to his projects. He made us all proud when he ventured into international waters and did a great job in the British film, Victoria and Abdul. Now, he is all set to star in the American mystery thriller, Death On The Nile, based on the 1937 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie.

The trailer, that released recently, has been receiving great response from the audience! Ali will star opposite actors like Gal Gadot, Rose Leslie and Armie Hammer among others in the film. The film was shot between September and December in London last year. Though they had planned an extensive promotional run for the film, the coronavirus pandemic has forced them to adopt other innovative ways of promoting their project.

In an Instagram story posted by actor Armie Hammer, we see the entire cast of the film re-unite virtually to kick off the promotional activities for the film virtually through a zoom call.
