Fauda is Popular With Indian Viewers

Over the years, Fauda has gained significant popularity among Indian viewers. The success of Fauda in India has also led to frequent visits by members of the Fauda cast. In 2022, Tsahi Halevi travelled to India for the first time and met several well-known names from Indian cinema, including Anupam Kher, Imtiaz Ali and Vivek Agnihotri.

Halevi also expanded his presence in India beyond Fauda by appearing in the Bollywood film Akeli alongside Nushrratt Bharuccha. Speaking about the opportunity, Halevi had said, “It is a great opportunity to be a part of such a colourful world of Indian cinema! I’m super excited and was amazed with the script when I first heard it! It was truly nice working with the entire cast and crew in Akelli and I’m sure it is going to be an impactful and unforgettable movie. ”

In the same year, Fauda stars Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff attended the Asia premiere of season four of Fauda at the 53rd International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, further cementing Fauda’s popularity in the country.
