Ali
Fazal
has
established
himself
as
an
actor
of
supreme
talent
in
the
Hindi
film
industry.
He
is
also
beginning
to
make
a
name
for
himself
in
the
international
entertainment
industry,
particularly
Hollywood.
In
a
recent
interview,
Ali
said
that
it
isn't
easy
to
break
into
a
new
industry
which
is
not
familiar
with
one's
body
of
work.
He
expressed
his
gratitude
to
other
actors
like
Irrfan
Khan,
Saeed
Jaffrey,
Shashi
Kapoor
and
Om
Puri,
for
striving
hard
in
the
film
industry
on
the
other
side
of
the
world,
and
creating
better
opportunities
for
others.
"Choices
don't
come
to
you
on
a
platter
no
matter
which
industry
you
belong
to.
And
when
it's
an
industry
that's
not
familiar
with
you,
your
body
of
work
and
judging
your
abilities
from
their
own
set
notions,
it's
an
even
tougher
feat.
For
decades,
masterful
filmmakers
and
actors
have
systematically
worked
towards
depicting
the
real
India
on
screen," said
Ali,
in
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times.
He
added,
"Indian
cinema
is
not
all
Bollywood
and
that's
a
barrier
that's
been
hard
to
break.
I
am
so
indebted
to
the
incredible
work
of
Irrfan
bhai,
Om
sa'ab,
Saeed
Jaffrey,
Shashi
Kapoor
who
have
strived
to
secure
better
roles
and
created
better
opportunities
for
us.
A
lead
part
in
roles
has
been
possible
for
me
because
of
their
contribution
and
bravery."
Ali
first
made
his
debut
as
a
lead
in
an
English
film
with
Victoria
&
Abdul
(2017),
starring
alongside
Judi
Dench,
Michael
Gambon,
Eddie
Izzard,
Tim
Pigott-Smith
and

Akhtar.
He
will
next
be
seen
in

On
The
Nile,
which
also
boasts
of
a
star
cast
including
Annette
Bening,
Russell
Brand,

Leslie,

Hammer,
