Recently Stephen Frears Victoria and Abdul saw multiple premieres in Europe and USA. Actor Ali Fazal who is playing the titular role of Abdul took a month long off from India to attend these special screenings along with Judi and other cast of the film. During one such special screening when it was asked Judi to share her experience working with Ali Fazal, she said, “Ali is a beautiful young man. He’s kind of a romantic, and also a laugher. That’s a good mixture. We got on very well indeed”. Such a compliment coming from an Oscar winning actor and who holds immense popularity and respect worldwide is a matter of pride and honour for an Indian born actor Ali Fazal.
