Ali Fazal is one of the few actors who are leading a successful career in Bollywood as well as Hollywood. While he has films like 'Happy Ab Bhag Jayegi' and 'Fukrey 3' coming up in Bollywood, he will soon be seen in big Hollywood projects like 'Death On The Nile' and 'Kandahar' as well.
Opening up about these projects, the actor told Pinkvilla, "Getting to work with Vishal Bhardwaj is every actor’s dream and then sharing screen notes in Kandhar with Gerard Butler and other guys is fun. I think the turf has gotten bigger and there is a lot more to give than we were led on to believe from our side." While he has more than one Hollywood project in the pipeline, Ali will also be seen in Fukrey 3."
Talking about what it's like for an actor from the subcontinent to make it into Hollywood, Ali said, "It’s been a journey of finding the right foothold. You got to throw yourself in the right pit. At times, projects are specify, like I can’t possibly start shooting for Mission Impossible as it is a Tom Cruise film. But with a film like Death On The Nile, the studio decided on a blind casting. Earlier my character was played by Geroge Kennedy and the character was older so the age was reduced. The colour didn’t bother anyone, so all these changes were exciting. In a weird way, the world is uniting and yet it is not. So, we have to slot ourselves to make headway."
