Sonu Sood's directorial debut 'Fateh' teaser promises action extravaganza
What's the story
Actor Sonu Sood, known for films such as Happy New Year and Dabangg, is now venturing into a different territory: direction.
After unveiling the poster for his debut feature directorial Fateh on Friday, he took to social media on Saturday to share the teaser.
Delving into the realm of cybercrime, the movie boasts the tagline "Never Underestimate A Nobody."
Sood wrote online "Aa Raha Hoon #Fateh! Brace yourselves for the biggest action-packed thriller!"
The teaser
The clip doesn't reveal much but establishes Sood's character
The teaser—over a minute long—starts with a conversation between Sood and seemingly a police officer, who asks Sood about killing 40 people.
"50 people," Sood's character proudly corrects him, saying "You will never find the rest of the bodies."
Going by the visuals, the film will feature high-quality stunts and will be a high-octane action-thriller.
It will be released in cinemas this year, though the release date is awaited.
