‘Fukrey’ actor Ali Fazal signed as lead opposite Judi Dench

Actor Ali Fazal has been roped in as the male lead opposite Academy Award winning-actor Judi Dench in Hollywood film titled Victoria And Abdul.

“I can’t wait to take on Judi. She is the cherry on this wonderful pudding. The most loved woman of Britain and probably the world. It was a process of endless auditions and readings and conversations and today I am so glad that they grilled fully into it to a point of no return. I am ecstatic and I guess it hasn’t really sunk in. So I will take a bow when I finish my work on the film. The fun has just begun,” Ali said in a statement.
