Time for Indian cinema to explode onto global stage: Ali Fazal

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Ali Fazal, who played one of the title roles in Stephen Frears’ directorial “Victoria & Abdul” with veteran actor Judi Dench, feels that now is the time for Indian cinema to make its presence felt like never before on global platforms.

Would he agree that this is the time in Bollywood when most of the “outsiders” are doing phenomenally well including the actors?

“They segregated people from the outside but your question is also typecasting the working class… there is no inside. It’s time for Indian cinema to explode into the global stage. Talent will not be avoided,” Ali told.

Ali, who impressed the audience with his roles in films like “3 Idiots”, “Fukrey” and “Happy Bhag Jayegi”, made his Hollywood debut with “Fast and Furious 7” featuring Hollywood stars like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson.

Talking about doing diverse roles, he said: “Earlier it wasn’t deliberate as I did what came my way. But yes, now I choose unpredictability as that’s the key to my creative juices.”
