Sonu also shared some new posters of the film. In the first image, Sonu can be seen donning a black and white suit and carrying a suitcase, near a seaport. In the second poster, we can see him standing next to Jacqueline holding her hand under a bridge. Produced by Shakti Sagar Productions and Zee Studios, 'Fateh' will also see Sonu Sood share the screen space with Naseeruddin Shah.

In an earlier interview with ANI, Sonu revealed how idea of 'Fateh' came to him. "The idea for 'Fateh' came into my mind when I was helping people and came to know that many people were being fooled and cheated in my name. They were given false loans, promises to meet me or to get any sort of help from my team during a pandemic," Sood said in an interview with ANI. The actor said he became concerned when he realised that a large number of people were being hoodwinked by conmen using his name to cheat them. The actor said he was informed of instances where people, especially those in remote areas were duped mostly through phishing tools.

"It was then I realized that this cybercrime is a big issue in our country. It is very important to take action on it. Thus the journey of 'Fateh', the film I am doing started from this experience," said the actor.
