Mumbai: Actor Ali Fazal has bagged a role alongside ‘Wonder Woman’ star Gal Gadot in a film based on author Agatha Christies ‘Death on The Nile’.
After playing the titular lead in ‘Victoria & Abdul’, Ali will now be seen in the on-screen modern-day adaptation of the novel.
It explores the investigation Hercule Poirot sets upon due to certain mysterious events that occur on a cruise ship on the nile. A murder. As the investigation goes on and a handful of suspects come into question, several of the suspects also meet their demise, further deepening the mystery.
