Only a true Potter head would know the excitement to meet one of the characters of the movie in real. Ali Fazal who has been shooting in and around London for his next Hollywood venture had a lucky chance to meet Michael Gambon who is a legendary British actor most recently known for his role as Albus Dumbledore on screen in the book adaptation of Harry Potter.

Michael is someone who is not just known for his work in Harry Potter but also in some other remarkable movies like, 'Stories of the Lost Souls', 'Charlotte Gray', 'The Insider', 'The Alps' and many more, most of which Ali being an avid cinema lover has grown up seeing.

Ali has always seen Micheal perform theater and has seen his movies but he always wanted to meet him in person, and during the shoot of 'Victoria and Abdul' Ali had the opportunity as Micheal recently joined the cast in London for the shoot. Michael is literally an idol of sorts for Ali and he is ecstatic to share screen space with him. Ali was literally spellbound meeting and spending time with such an iconic actor of world cinema,

Speaking with excitement, Ali said, "Micheal is one of the most sort after charming man in Britain. A legend to say the least. And yes it was an honour to meet him. There is a reason why he is Sir Michael Gambon."

"My interaction with him was something i will take to the grave.. hehe, . he reminded me of so many of my sittings and conversations with my grandfather in Lucknow. I think I was almost clinging onto him. We spoke not of acting, in fact far from it. I would have loved to narrate the content but it was shamelessly blunt and fiery and truthful. Working with Michael was like when you and your best friend are told to stand by the corner facing the wall for misbehaving in class and both of you just cant hold it together. You play your part and you break the rules. It was fun. i love it when my co-actor is far better than me. It makes my job easy."
