Poster alert: Ali Fazal looks royal in ‘Victoria & Abdul’

Priyanka Chopra is surely making us proud by featuring in international movies, but there is one more celebrity who is treading along the same path, and he is, Ali Fazal. The young actor, who has showed his acting prowess in Bollywood films, will now be sharing screen space with none other than Judi Dench, in his next international venture ‘Victoria & Abdul’. The film is a period drama and tells the tale of the final years of Queen Victoria in the late 1800s, in United Kingdom, when she developed a special bond/friendship with an Indian clerk.

Today, the makers of the film unleashed the first character poster of the film. Ali Fazal aka Abdul Karim looks royal in this poster. From his attire to his posture, Ali seems to be totally in his character in this poster. Check it out below.

When The Indian Express got in touch with the actor, he stated, “Consolata Boyle Consolata Boyle Consolata… and a little bit of me. And a whole lot of Universal studios – in creating the beautiful images that will carry this film to an era we all have taken from… an era that shaped humanity in many ways. I am so proud to be part of such a piece in time and at the right time. Reasons are many and they are right.” (Also Check: Underrated in Bollywood, Ali Fazal stands strong alongside Judi Dench in ‘Victoria & Abdul’ trailer)
