Ali Fazal & Gal Gadot in Agatha Christie's Death On The Nile adaptation

After working with Dame Judi Dench in Victoria & Abdul, Ali Fazal has bagged another biggie. The actor will be seen in the film adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1937 detective fiction novel, Death On The Nile, which will be directed by Kenneth Branagh. The director, who has previously helmed movies like Murder On The Orient Express and the Thor series, will continue to play detective Hercule Poirot in the film. Like Victoria & Abdul, Ali’s next, too, has a stellar cast, including Wonder Woman Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer, to name a few. The film explores Poirot’s investigation of a murder that takes place in a cruise on the Nile. As the probe begins, a handful of suspects emerge, but later, several of them meet their demise, further deepening the mystery.

The film is part of the detective series, which earlier saw the star-studded Murder On The Orient Express (2017), starring the likes of Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp. Death On The Nile has previously been made in 1978, starring legends, including Bette Davis, Maggie Smith, Mia Farrow and others. The film is slated to go on floors later this month in London and parts of Europe.
Confirming the news, Ali told Bombay Times, “Yes, I am a part of this wonderful journey and I am looking forward to it. My mother and I have always been huge fans of Agatha Christie novels, so this is special.” About working with director Kenneth Branagh, he added, “Kenneth is a master of his craft and I’m excited to be directed by him. And what a stellar cast to join hands with on this project!”
