Arati Kadav, who last helmed a unique sci-fi film Carog (2019) with Shweta Tripathi and Vikrant Massey, directs the forthcoming space film.

Fazal is looking forward to the audience’s reaction to his new avatar as a spaceman. The actor reportedly shot his part in the film with a highly skilled crew.

Talking about the untitled film, Fazal said, “It is something I have not dabbled in before. It was more like an experiment to try and pull this off in some very unlikely conditions too but that's a surprise for all for later.”

He continued, “We tried to fit a large concept into these frames. I do hope people like it because if they do, we will go 5 steps further into the unknown and start churning out the rest of this film - yes there might be versions left to showcase.”

Additionally, Ali Fazal is also shooting for Vishal Bharadwaj’s next directorial venture Khufiya. The spy thriller also stars seasoned actor Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Ashish Vidyarthi. It is inspired by true events and based on the popular espionage novel Escape to Nowhere by Amar Bhushan. Once ready, Khufiya will premiere on Netflix.

That logic helped create a global subscription economy now valued at more than $1.5 trillion, spanning streaming, music, cloud storage, AI tools, fitness apps, gaming and even coffee memberships.

But the model that once looked unstoppable is entering a difficult phase as inflation, price fatigue and changing consumer behaviour collide. Around 47% of consumers cancelled at least one subscription this year, according to recent subscription industry surveys, while companies are increasingly shifting focus from rapid growth to customer retention.
