Death On The Nile, which is slated to release on October 23 this year, is an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic novel of the same name. The film boasts of an impressive star cast that includes Kenneth Branagh as the renowned detective Hercule Poirot, Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot, who has been cast as Linnet Doyle, the murder victim, and Armie Hammer stars as her husband Simon Doyle. The film also features Tom Bateman, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Dawn French, Rose Leslie, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders, and Letitia Wright.

Death On The Nile is Kenneth Branagh’s second outing as Hercule Poirot after 2017’s Murder On The Orient Express (also an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel). The film showcases a series of murders onboard a Nile cruise boat that kick off when a love triangle involving Armie Hammer, Emma Mackey and Gal Gadot, goes wrong. Enough said, check out the film’s trailer:

Coming back to Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, the couple were supposed to get married in April this year. However, they postponed their wedding due to the coronavirus pandemic.

They wish for everyone to be healthy and safe and at no cost would want their friends, families and well-wishers to be affected.”
