Ali Fazal to play a baddie in 'Rourav'

After replacing Arjun Rampal in Soni Razdan's upcoming thriller, Love Affair, Ali Fazal has now signed up to play a baddie in Rourav.

The drama is set in Rajasthan and the film rolls in August. The dark thriller also features Richa Chadda and Kay Kay Menon in lead roles.

Ali was recently in the news for his special appearance in the Vin Diesel-starrer Fast and Furious 7, where he played an Arab friend of the racing gang.

A source close to the development told Mirror, "In Rourav, Ali's dark side will come to life in Rajasthan's uneven terrain. His character will leave a deep impact in every lovers' heart."

The actor has been undergoing an acting workshop. "Ali plays an uncultured man and has been working on his look, accent and body language," adds the source.
