Ali Fazal to write a short film
Actor Ali Fazal, who will next be seen in Khamoshiyan, is trying his hand at scriptwriting. He's taking baby steps into it with a short film, the title of which is yet to be locked. The film will be shot in February 2015, and it has been co-written by Ali with Hussain Dalal, who recently came in the limelight through his heartwarming ad film for Nescafe. Talking about his new endeavour, Ali said, “It is a very simple story which we are trying to portray in a short film format. We have not decided the title of the film yet but we are going to shoot this early next year. I hope to achieve an intense cinematic experience through this.” The film will be completely shot in Mumbai. Ali started his Bollywood stint with 3 Idiots and then went on to feature in films like Fukrey and Bobby Jasoos.
