It’s a wrap for ‘Fateh’ starring Sonu Sood, Jacqueline Fernandez

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 26 (ANI): Actors Sonu Sood and Jacqueline Fernandez have finally completed shooting for the action thriller ‘Fateh’.

Taking to Instagram, Sonu shared behind-the-scenes pictures to mark this day.

Sharing the photos, he wrote, “Fateh is just the beginning of a magical journey, and as I wrap up the shoot , i promise this will be your most memorable one . Jackie I truly appreciate your humility, hard work and dedication.. thanks for being yourself. As I promised this is going to be your best one @jacquelienefernandez.”

‘Fateh’ is based on real-life instances of cybercrime experienced by people during the Covid-pandemic.

Helmed by Vaibhav Mishra and the film stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Shivjyoti Rajput and Vijay Raaz in prominent roles.

Some of the prominent names in Hollywood including the director of photography, research team, and action choreographers have been roped in for this film.

Sood, whose philanthropic acts during the pandemic touched the lives of migrants, revealed that there was also a flipside to his humanitarian efforts – instances of scamsters using his name to con people.

“The idea for ‘Fateh’ came into my mind when I was helping people and came to know that many people were being fooled and cheated in my name. They were given false loans, promises to meet me or to get any sort of help from my team during a pandemic,” Sood said in an interview with ANI.

The actor said he became concerned when he realised that a large number of people were being hoodwinked with conmen using his name to cheat them. The actor said he was informed of instances where people, especially those in remote areas were duped mostly through phishing tools.

“It was then I realized that this cybercrime is a big issue in our country. It is very important to take action on it. Thus the journey of ‘Fateh’, the film I am doing started from this experience,” said the actor.

The ‘Dabangg’ actor said he began writing about how the public was being tricked and how they could take steps to ensure they do not succumb to such fraudsters.

“The film is based on the real experiences of these people. Ninety per cent of shooting has been completed, more 8-10 days are left to wrap it,” the ‘Simba’ actor said.

The official release date of ‘Fateh’ is still awaited.
