When Ali Fazal guest starred in the Hollywood tentapole film, `Furious 7` in 2015, he had his eyes set on an international career. Eight years, and two prominent English-language outings later, the actor is gearing up for his next big action spy thriller, Kandahar. Fazal co-stars Hollywood A-lister Gerard Butler, who has also produced the film. Travis Fimmel, and Iranian-American actor Navid Negahban, known for 24 and Homeland, also feature in it.

In the first look poster for `Kadnahar`, Ali can be seen sporting a rather rugged look in front of a dirt bike in the middle of the desert. The film is set for a release on May 26 in the US. The film was shot extensively in the Al Ula region of Saudi Arabia.
