Actor Ali Fazal is all set to surprise audiences with a never-before-seen avatar as he takes on the role of a cop for the very first time in the highly anticipated web series Raakh, premiering on Prime Video. The series also marks Ali’s long-awaited collaboration with acclaimed filmmaker Prosit Roy, a director he has admired for years.
Prosit, renowned for projects like Pari, the upcoming Chakda Xpress, and the critically acclaimed Paatal Lok Season 1, brings his signature layered storytelling, atmospheric tension, and cinematic vision to Raakh. For Ali, the project is particularly special—not just because of the challenging role, but because it fulfills a personal wish to work under Prosit’s direction.
Speaking about the collaboration, Ali Fazal shared, “Working with Prosit Roy had been on my wishlist for the longest time. I remember watching Pari and being struck by how he created entire worlds through mood, silence, and tension—his craft is unique and compelling. Later, Paatal Lok only cemented my belief that he is one of the most exciting voices in our industry today. When Raakh came my way, and I learned Prosit was directing, it felt like the universe was finally answering a quiet wish I’d been carrying for years. Playing a cop for the first time in my career has been both challenging and exhilarating, but exploring this character under Prosit’s guidance has been transformative. His attention to detail, his ability to push actors without ever making them feel out of place, and the world he creates for his stories—everything about this experience is unforgettable. I feel incredibly fortunate that Raakh brought us together. Sometimes dreams take time, but when they do, they’re worth the wait.”
With Raakh, Ali Fazal once again expands his versatile repertoire, stepping into uncharted territory and reaffirming his position as one of the most dynamic actors of his generation. The series is executive produced and directed by Prosit Roy, and created, written, and co-directed by Anusha Nandakumar and Sandeep Saket, making it one of the most eagerly awaited titles on Prime Video this year.
