Actor Ali Fazal doesn’t regret choosing Bollywood projects over American TV series Homeland.
He had to let go off Homeland because he he had already committed his dates for Khamoshiyan, a joint production project of Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt and his forthcoming film Bobby Jasoos, in which he will be seen with Vidya Balan.
“I was approached for Homeland, and it was a great opportunity. But when they asked me for my dates, those were given to Mukesh sir’s film and my promotions for Bobby Jasoos. Thus, there was no question of any talks because these films were important,” said Fazal, who has previously been seen in films like 3 Idiots and Fukrey.
The makers of Homeland wanted Ali to fly down to the US in the first week of July for the workshop and the shoot was set to start soon after.
In the last three years, Homeland has become one of the most popular TV series across the globe. So far, it has won five Golden Globe Awards and 10 Emmys.
Ali will be seen in the forthcoming edition of the Fast and The Furious series, which will release next year.
