Actor
Ali
Fazal
says
producers
of
his
upcoming
movie
Bobby
Jasoos
had
to
cajole
him
a
lot
to
star
in
the
film,
which
has
actress
Vidya
Balan
playing
the
protagonist.
The
27-year-old
actor
was
worried
that
he
would
turn
out
to
be
a
mere
face
in
the
sleuth
film
and
had
to
be
convinced
about
the
script
by
Dia
Mirza
and
Sahil
Sangha,
who
are
producing
the
movie
Bobby
Jasoos.
"It
took
a
lot
of
convincing
from
Dia
and
Sahil
to
get
me
on
board
this
film.
I
had
my
own
questions
regarding
the
film,
my
role
and
where
I
would
fit
in
a
movie
which
has
a
female
protagonist," Ali
said.
"I
am
a
little
choosy
about
the
films
I
do.
So,
I
had
to
be
exactly
sure
about
my
role
in
the
film
and
had
to
be
clear
that
I
am
more
than
just
a
face
or
a
love
interest
and
had
something
substantial
to
do
in
the
movie," he
said.
The
film
Bobby
Jasoos,
which
will
hit
theatres
this
Friday,
centres
around
Vidya's
character
Bobby,
who
wants
to
become
the
best
detective
in
Hyderabad.
Ali
says
although
the
film's
title
suggests
that
it
is
a
detective
movie,
the
core
story
is
about
relationships
and
aspirations.
"There
is
a
romantic
story
that
runs
parallel
as
the
film
is
about
relationships.
It
is
about
a
girl
who
is
trying
to
get
out
of
the
mundane,
conservative
life
and
this
is
a
boy
who
is
trying
to
move
to
a
big
city.
My
character
brings
out
the
coy
side
of
Vidya's
character,
who
is
like
a
'gundi',"
Ali
said.
Ali
further
adds
that
he
had
no
apprehensions
about
romancing
Vidya,
who
is
older
than
him,
and
feels
it
was
her
tremendous
acting
that
pushed
him
to
perform
better
in
the
scenes
he
shared
with
the
actress.
"While
we
were
shooting
I
never
felt
like
she
is
older
to
me.
She
is
like
a
child,
an
energy
ball
in
herself.
She
would
just
light
up
the
scenes
we
did.
She
is
a
great
actress
and
I
think
it
is
because
of
her
that
my
performance
was
better,"
the
Bobby
Jasoos
actor,
Ali
Fazal
said.
