Actor Ali Fazal, from the rugged Guddu Bhaiya to sensitive, layered protagonists is all set to surprise audiences yet again. This time, the actor will be seen embracing his lover boy avatar in the much-anticipated
Lust Stories 3, marking his return to romance in a contemporary, emotionally nuanced space.
Ali was last seen in Metro In Dino, where he played a soft, heartwarming musician navigating love and vulnerability. Continuing this romantic trajectory, Lust Stories 3 showcases Ali in a refreshingly intimate and expressive role, paired opposite Radhika Madan. The film is helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Shakun Batra, known for his sensitive storytelling and deep exploration of human relationships.
Sharing his excitement about the project, Ali said, “Lust Stories 3 came to me at a time when I was craving something emotionally honest and personal. Shakun has such a rare way of observing human behaviour, he doesn’t direct scenes, he lets them breathe. Working with him was incredibly fulfilling because he pushes you to be truthful rather than dramatic. This story explores love, desire, and vulnerability in a very real way, and I genuinely enjoyed slipping back into a romantic space after a long time.”
He further added, “There’s something freeing about playing a lover boy again, but in today’s context flawed, sensitive, and emotionally aware. I think audiences will see a very different, softer side of me, and that’s what excites me the most about Lust Stories 3.”
Netflix India is set to release the third chapter of the popular anthology film ‘Lust Stories’, and the news has left fans excited. According to Variety India, Lust Stories 3 will feature four short films directed by some of the most acclaimed names in Indian cinema: Vikramaditya Motwane (Lootera), Shakun Batra (Kapoor & Sons), Kiran Rao (Laapataa Ladies), and Vishal Bhardwaj (Haider).

The cast includes Radhika Apte, Konkona Sensharma, Ali Fazal, Aditi Rao Hydari and others.
