Actor Ali Fazal, who was recently seen sharing screen space with names like Gal Gadot in his latest release `Death On The Nile` and is currently busy shooting with Gerard Butler for `Kandahar`, says he wants to be a part of stories on a global level.
In a conversation with IANS, Ali spoke about living several lives in one — from the world of `Fukrey` to `Mirzapur`, to `Victoria and Abdul` and `Death On The Nile`, Ali said: “It feels nice but I know the quest is larger… For artists in India our golden period was in the 1950s and I think that was the time when we were globally out there thanks to people like Satyajit Ray and everybody.
“So, I see that we have a big stake now again after a long long time and so I don`t want to reflect too much. I want to look ahead and I feel that there are so many more stories to tell and I feel that sometime `time dhokha de jaata hai` (time betrays us) because I have half my work here and there which I am complaining about but I end up losing out on some stuff but one at a time I want to tell the stories that I want to on a global scale… I think we are going through a very big and interesting change here in Indian cinema.”
`Kandahar` the first collaboration between Ali and director Ric Roman Waugh, who has previously worked with Butler in `Greenland` and `Angel Has Fallen`.
On the work front, Ali is shooting for filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj`s directorial `Khufiya`.
