In Freaky Ali, Nawazuddin plays Ali, a poor man whose his journey starts from being a nobody to being the master of a sport which is considered a rich man’s game. The film will trace the story of an extortionist who turns into a star golf player in a bid to win the love of his life, played by Amy Jackson.

Sohail Khan, who shot the film in 38 days and credits his entire team for completing the shot within given time frame, said: “We were very well prepared for this film, we used to start early in the morning and we shot at exclusive locations. We hired a golf expert, as the game could get very complicated.”
