If you remember the boy from 3 idiots, Joy Lobo, you definitely know who we are talking about. Earning millions of hearts with his short, crisp and heart-wrenching role in 3 idiots, the actor also gained love as Guddu Bhaiya in Mirzapur. However, now it seems the actor has gone a long way as he gets all geared up for his Hollywood project along with Gal Gadot, in the film Death On The Nile. Speaking of that, the actor in a recent talk with HT revealed how his journey’s been so far.
Talking to Hindustan Times, he said, “Getting to work with Vishal Bhardwaj is every actor’s dream and then sharing screen notes in Kandhar with Gerard Butler and other guys is fun. I think the turf has gotten bigger and there is a lot more to give than we were led on to believe from our side.” While he has more than one Hollywood project in the pipeline, Ali will also be seen in Fukrey 3.
When asked if it has been difficult for him to find work in the West he said, “It’s been a journey of finding the right foothold. You got to throw yourself in the right pit. At times, projects are specific, like I can’t possibly start shooting for Mission Impossible as it is a Tom Cruise film. But with a film like Death On The Nile, the studio decided on a blind casting. Earlier my character was played by Geroge Kennedy and the character was older so the age was reduced. The colour didn’t bother anyone, so all these changes were exciting. In a weird way, the world is uniting and yet it is not. So, we have to slot ourselves to make headway.”
