Ali Fazal is set to star alongside acclaimed actor of Fleabag fame, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, in an upcoming film titled Rule Breakers. The film will be directed by two-time Academy Award winner Bill Guttentag.
As per a press release shared by the makers, the film will explore themes of resilience and defiance in Afghanistan.
Speaking about working with Pheobe, Ali said, “I am so thrilled to be able to support a film that every parent should take their child to watch in the theatres. With the story being so inspiring, it was no surprise that Phoebe also stepped in. Her addition has lifted the film to greater heights.”
Ali also gave a hint about the characters the two of them would be playing, “We play key roles at different stages in Roya Mehboob’s life and journey along with the Afghani robotics team for girls”.
When it comes to home projects, Ali was last seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Khufiya (2023). He and wife Richa Chadha also recently executed their maiden production Girls Will Be Girls. He will next be seen in the film version of Mirzapur.
