Actor Ali Fazal, who played one of the title roles in Stephen Frears’ directorial Victoria & Abdul with veteran actor Judi Dench, feels that now is the time for Indian cinema to make its presence felt like never before on global platforms. Would he agree that this is the time in Bollywood when most of the “outsiders” are doing phenomenally well including the actors? “They segregated people from the outside but your question is also typecasting the working class… there is no inside. It’s time for Indian cinema to explode into the global stage. Talent will not be avoided,” Ali told IANS in an e-mail interview.
