Actor Ali Fazal who is all geared up for his magnum opus video on demand series Mirzapur on Amazon Prime has one more reason to celebrate this festive season. The suave actor has now been roped in as the lead for ace director and writer Pradeep Sarkar for his next Arranged Marriage.
Ali will be playing the main lead and is touted to be one of the most powerful characters he ever played onscreen. Arranged Marriage is a unique modern day love story set in Kolkata.
Speaking about being roped in for the film, Ali said, “Arranged Marriage is a unique modern day love story set in Kolkata. We have been filming in Kolkata. It's the modern world, it's 2018, it does touch upon some very essential phases of love, relationships, families that are involved in marriages and how important it is that where these families come from but I am very very excited to work with my co-actors. It's an honour and privilege to work with a veteran director and writer Pradeep dada who has given such a powerful and meaningful cinema and has worked with some of the best talents of India cinema”.
The film explores the relationships between the family, their involvement during the process of an arranged marriage. It’s a twisted tale between the couple and has its own complexities that will be beautifully explored by Sarkar on a larger canvas. The films cast and crew just begun filming in India’s second largest city, Kolkata.
