Ali Fazal unveils character poster for upcoming Hollywood film Death On The Nile

Kenneth Branagh’s Death On The Nile (2022), which features the director as Agatha Christie's fictional dectective Hercule Poirot, will finally be released in theatres on 11 February.

A new set of character posters reintroduces the players in the mystery, including Indian actor Ali Fazal, who enacts the part of Andrew Katchadourian aka The Cousin.

Fazal, who has been shooting for the Gerard Butler-starrer Kandahar in Saudi Arabia, unveiled his character poster along with those of co-stars Branagh, Gal Gadot and Emma Mackey.

Wearing a formal dinner suit, the actor is seen sporting a moustache and a slicked-back hairstyle.

This is the second film to feature Branagh as master sleuth Poirot after Murder On The Orient Express (2017), which also he directed.

This new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1937 popular novel explores Poirot investigating a mysterious death on his Egyptian vacation on a luxury river steamer. Fazal is one of the many suspects in the mystery.

Besides his international projects, Ali Fazal will be seen as an astronaut in Arati Kadav's sci-fi short film and stars in Vishal Bhardwaj's Netflix spy thriller Khufiya with Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi.

Produced by 20th Century Fox, Death On The Nile has been delayed several times during the pandemic. The period film, for which filming was completed in 2019, also stars Sophie Okonedo, Tom Bateman, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Letita Wright, Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French.
