This Bollywood actor has bagged a lead role in a Hollywood flick!

Of late, two of our Bollywood beauties broke through Hollywood and shot for their respective debut films. Now, it’s a dude from Bollywood who has earned the glory! Ali Fazal, who earlier played a cameo in the seventh part of ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise, has now bagged a lead role in Stephen Frears’ next film, tentatively titled ‘Victoria and Abdul’.

The film revolves around Abdul Karim, a young Indian clerk who unexpectedly comes across Queen Victoria, being played by Dame Judi Dench who played the same character in the 1997 film ‘Mrs. Brown’ as well.

“I’m living my dream. Abdul is a guy from Agra who goes to London and is thrown into a fancy place all of a sudden. That’s just what happened to me. Stephen liked my audition and I did reading sessions with Judi Dench.” Ali says.

“I think they liked my hold on Hindi, English and Urdu. I’m growing a beard for this movie. Hence, I’m looking like a homeless guy while promoting my upcoming film ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’. I’ll leave for London after it releases,” he adds.

Well, congratulations!
