Ali
Fazal
is
one
actor,
who
is
striking
a
right
balance
between
Bollywood
and
Hollywood.
Recently,
Ali
appeared
in
Mirzapur
2,
and
broke
the
internet
with
his
heart-winning
performance
in
the
web
series,
which
is
currently
streaming
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
In
his
latest
tete-a-tete
with
a
leading
daily,
Ali
opened
up
about
working
in
the
West,
and
addressed
the
difference
between
the
two
film
industries.
Speaking
about
the
difference
between
Bollywood
and
Hollywood,
Ali
said,
"I
think
we
have
evolved
a
lot
with
time.
In
the
last
two
years
itself,
we
have
catapulted
a
lot
in
Indian
cinema.
I
remember
when
I
was
shooting
for
'Victoria
and
Abdul',
it
was
very
different.
'Fast
and
Furious'
was
even
more
different.
There
is
no
comparison
because
their
economy
is
different.
Their
budgets
are
huge."
Ali
further
stated
that
every
Hollywood
film
that
he
has
done
has
catered
to
250
countries,
and
that
too
even
before
going
to
OTT.
Speaking
about
his
next
Hollywood
project
Death
In
The
Nile,
which
also
stars
Gal
Gadot,
Fazal
said
that
the
film's
budget
is
100
million
dollar
approximately.
He
also
revealed
Victoria
and
Abdul's
budget,
which
was
close
to
40
million
dollar
budget.
"The
comparisons
are
unfair
but
yes,
the
productions
in
India
are
getting
better.
I
believe
the
more
local
we
go,
the
more
global
we
will
become.
The
problem
is
that
we
have
been
aping
the
West
for
a
large
part
of
our
process
and
that
is
where
we
lost
our
identities
in
the
'90s.
This
you
don't
find
in
Tamil
or
Malayalam
films;
they
remain
true
to
their
stories," added
Fazal.
In
the
same
interview,
when
Fazal
was
asked
if
he
faced
any
racial
discrimination
in
the
West,
he
didn't
give
any
concrete
answer
and
said,
"I
don't
know.
Maybe
it
happened
without
me
knowing
or
realising.
I
am
still
new
to
the
game
out
there.
I
have
only
been
part
of
one
Oscar
campaign."
