Ali Fazal has worked in many international films and in India too, the actor is known for picking up varied roles. But several years ago, when Ali was still in the early stages of his career, he once worked in a film that he now describes as a “cheap horror film”. The Mirzapur actor recently spoke about the “many paaps (sins)” that he has done and recalled his experience of making a film called Khamoshiyan, which also starred Sapna Pabbi and Gurmeet Choudhary.
Speaking to Cyrus Broacha on his YouTube channel, Ali said that Khamoshiyan was a “bad film”. The movie was produced by Mahesh Bhatt and written by Vikarm Bhatt, who later took over the film as a “shadow director”. Ali recalled, “Vikram Bhatt came on board to shadow direct this other boy Karan (Darra, director).”
Ali Fazal said that this was not supposed to be a horror film but since Vikram came on board, and he was known for making horror films, he continued to do the same here. Vikram is known for directing films like Raaz, 1920, Haunted, Creature 3D, 1921 among others. Ali recalled, “It turned into this really cheap horror film but the songs were amazing. And the songs turned out to be big Arijit hits.”

Ali was recently seen in the Vishal Bhardwaj film Khufiya. This year, he was also seen in the Hollywood film Kandahar, with Gerard Butler. The actor is now looking forward to the release of Mirzapur Season 3. The much-loved Amazon Prime Video series first started in 2018 and it was expected that the third season of the series will launch in 2023. The release date for the same is yet to be announced.
