‘Fateh’ Blends Physical Prowess With Emotional Depth

MUMBAI (IANS)- As his film “Fateh” gears up for its television premiere, actor-director Sonu Sood shared that in his two-decade-long career, few roles have allowed him to explore both his physical prowess and emotional side simultaneously.

Speaking about his directorial debut, an action thriller, Sood said, “I always knew if I ever direct a film, my first attempt will be in the thrilling world of action. What’s unique about Fateh is that it takes action sequences of international standards and places them in a very raw and Indian context. Every fight and battle is happening for a reason, and not just action for action’s sake.”

Fateh tells the story of Fateh Singh, a former special ops officer who is compelled to return to duty when an innocent girl is kidnapped by a cybercrime syndicate.

“In my career, very few roles gave me the chance to explore my physical prowess and emotional side at the same time,” Sood added, discussing his character. “Fateh Singh is one such character who packs a mean punch but also will do anything for his loved ones. He is a man bad people will be afraid of, and good people will be inspired by.”

Besides Sonu Sood in the lead, Fateh also features Jacqueline Fernandez, Shiv Jyoti Rajput, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah.
