Ali Fazal wraps up Kandahar in Saudi Arabia

Ali Fazal

Fazal, who was shooting for the action-thriller in Saudi Arabia, shared the news on his Instagram Stories. "What a wrap! And such a wonderful night! Love you all!! (sic)," the actor, 35, who earlier acted in international movies like Furious 7 and Victoria and Abdul, wrote alongside a photo with the cast and crew.

Hours earlier, Fazal had posted a video of his visit to the two holy mosques in Mecca and Medina. "To Medina and then Mecca! What a way to end my shoot. This one was for Amma and Nana. Their loss will never heal me... Maybe healing isn't the answer. Seeking is. We'll find out," he captioned the video.

Led by Scottish star Gerard Butler, Kandahar is being directed by Ric Roman Waugh, best known for helming films Angel Has Fallen (2019), and Greenland (2020).

The film is based on the screenplay Waugh developed with former military intelligence officer Mitchell LaFortune. The story is inspired by Mitchell's experiences at the Defense Intelligence Agency in Afghanistan.

Bulter is playing the role of Tom Harris, a CIA operative working in the Middle East whose cover is blown after an intelligence leak exposes his classified mission. Details of Fazal's character are still under wraps.

Fazal's forthcoming Hollywood release is Kenneth Branagh-directed Death on the Nile, which also features Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot. The film will be released on February 11.
