Ali Fazal, known for his iconic role as Guddu Pandit, is set to take the lead in ‘Rakht Brahmand,’ starring opposite Samantha Prabhu. This period drama/fantasy series is spearheaded by the renowned duo Raj & DK, with direction by Rahi Anil Barve of ‘Tumbbad’ fame. The ensemble also includes Aditya Roy Kapoor and Wamiqa Gabbi in significant roles.
Following the excitement for Anurag Basu’s ‘Metro In Dino,’ Aamir Khan’s ‘Lahore 1947,’ and Mani Ratnam’s ‘Thug Life,’ Ali Fazal’s next major venture will be this ambitious series. According to a source ‘Rakht Brahmand’ represents a remarkable vision from Raj & DK, pushing the boundaries of the fantasy drama genre. The source added that Ali is thrilled about the unique character and genre, marking a new challenge in his career.
Filming for the six-part limited series is scheduled to start next week in Mumbai. Ali will be juggling his time between this project and other commitments throughout August. The cast has been finalized, and the production team is eager to bring this visionary series to life.
