Ali Fazal is known to be an actor who perhaps hasn’t always been seen in lead roles in his movies. However, he’s recently revealed that he prefers it that way.

Fazal told PTI, referring to his role in the forthcoming ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’ which is directed by Mudassar Aziz, “I am in love with stories of underdogs. My character is the underdog of the film and I think that is the most beautiful thing about the script. It’s not the author-backed role”.

He continued, “Mudassar and I had to build the character from scratch. It’s a beautifully written role but it requires that much input from the actor and director. That’s why we were so scared in the start”.

He further added about the importance of the chemistry between the actors, “The chemistry was very important and not just with Diana… half of the film my chemistry is with Jimmy and Piyush Mishra and Abhay. It is very nice to have good actors with you. When someone’s good my job becomes easier”.

‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’ is set for release on 19th August. Fazal is also tipped for a Hollywood film with Dame Judi Dench.
