About the Movie
Fateh marks Sonu Sood's debut as a director. The movie is produced by Shakti Sagar Productions and Zee Studios. It also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, and Naseeruddin Shah in key roles. The film brings in a talented team of international professionals, including a renowned director of photography, a research team, and action choreographers.
Despite facing stiff competition from the big-budget Telugu film Game Changer (directed by S Shankar, starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani), Fateh has managed to hold its ground and draw attention.
Plot of 'Fateh'
Fateh is an action-packed film that tells the story of courage, resilience, and the fight against cybercrime. The plot is inspired by real-life instances of cybercrime that affected many people during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to Hindustan Times, Sonu Sood's performance anchors the film, with his action sequences resonating well with viewers. While the film sticks to the familiar action genre, its international treatment, particularly the high-quality action sequences, is expected to impress audiences.
Sonu Sood's Connection to 'Fateh'
In a video shared on social media, Sonu Sood spoke about the inspiration behind Fateh. He explained that during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, many people who reached out to him for help had fallen victim to cybercrime, with their hard-earned money being drained due to fraud. This experience deeply affected him, and he felt compelled to create a film that tells the story of ordinary people facing such challenges.
Sonu also mentioned that the movie was made for the common man and that he wanted it to be accessible to all across India. To make the film affordable, he decided to price tickets at just ₹99 for its first day. Additionally, Sonu Sood pledged to donate the entire profit from the movie to charity as a way to give back to those in need.
