Ali Fazal is no match in terms of acting. These days he is in the news for his film 'Khufiya' directed by Vishal Bhardwaj. Like always, in this film, he has succeeded in leaving an impact on the audience with his acting. Although Ali knows how to adapt to every character, most people recognize him by the name of his 'Mirzapur' character 'Guddu Bhaiya'. Surprisingly, many people refused Ali Fazal to do this character. Recently he has revealed this.

 

Recently, during a media interaction, Ali Fazal said that he was refused to be a part of the 'Mirzapur' series. The suggestion to Ali not to do this popular series was not given by anyone but by some directors. The reason for this is that when this series was being made, the OTT platform had not emerged that strongly in India.

 

Ali Fazal says, 'When I got the offer of 'Mirzapur', not many shows were happening. But luckily, I got a chance to work during that time. However, I could see the future of OTT shows. I understood that this model was working. But, many famous directors then advised me that I should not do 'Mirzapur'. He had said, 'What are you doing? This will come in five years.

 

Ali Fazal further said, 'By that time OTT model had been formed in the West. I knew it would be a blast. We love our theatres. I always do films which come to theatres. This is the case with every actor.

 

Let us tell you that Ali Fazal has worked on some Hollywood projects along with Bollywood. When he was asked whether Indian filmmakers are as effective as foreign filmmakers in terms of storytelling? On this Ali said, 'Yes of course!' Talking about 'Khufiya', Tabu and Vamika Gabbi are also seen in important roles in this film.
