Ali Fazal is on a spree of doing genre bending films back-to-back. The actor has an impressive line up of films in the coming year and will now be seen in another interesting project. Directed by Shujaat Saudagar, `The Underbug` stars Ali Fazal and Hussain Dalal in lead roles. The film has been officially been selected for the upcoming edition of Slamdance Film Festival which is set to take place Jan 20-26 in person in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah and virtually between 23-29 January
The film was shot during the small respite of time of Covid lockdowns in late 2020 and is currently in post production. The film was extensively shot in one house somewhere in the interiors of Maharashtra and is being speculated as a mind bending psychological thriller. With all the hush hush around this film, the story we hear is of two individuals X and Y and their encounter with each other on Independence Day as they take refuge in an abandoned house. However, not all is okay when an eerie presence in that house haunts the men to the edge of their sanity. Dabbling their own inner demons and the world outside, this is a test of grit and will.
