Join film critic Sucharita Tyagi for an exclusive interview with the incredibly talented actor and producer, Ali Fazal! In this candid conversation, Ali opens up about his new life update as a parent, his experience with some of the most intense characters he's played, including the morally complex and violent role in Mirzapur, and the challenges of stepping away from such dark characters.
Ali also shares insights into his career, discussing why he feels he has lost out on certain opportunities, and how his experience working in Hollywood has shaped his approach to acting and storytelling. He delves into the physical transformation required for his role in Mirzapur and the commitment involved in bringing his character to life.

Ali Fazal talks to Sucharita about the age-gap debate between male and female actors in the Indian film industry and shares his compassion for writers-technicians who struggle everyday to make their ends meet in the current competitive filmmaking business.
Ali reflects on the success of Director Shuchi Talati’s Girls Will Be Girls, the Sundance-winning film that he and wife Richa Chadha produced, and his passion for pushing boundaries with their production company, Pushing Buttons. He talks about their efforts to launch a programme aimed at training female gaffers and addressing the pay disparity in the industry, especially for writers.

As the interview unfolds, Ali engages in a fun and creative conversation, all while trying his hand at fluid art, making the chat both insightful and relaxed.
