Talking about learning dirt biking during his prep for the role, he had earlier said in a press statement that after learning dirt biking, he has found a new passion for it. “We chose a KTM as opposed to one of those cool Ducati or sports bikes, the Hayabusa that people love watching. We couldn’t fake a lot of this stuff so I learned dirt biking. I landed up 25 days before the shoot and started learning these tricks. I worked with my stunt double to practice riding on top of a very steep Cliff which has only rocks, those things I never did,” he had said.

Ali on Hollywood and Bollywood

Talking about juggling between Hollywood and Bollywood, Ali Fazal recently told Hindustan Times in an interview, “Half my time goes in Hollywood, and the remaining half, I spend here in India. It becomes a bit of a struggle when you’re alone, trying to dabble with these two industries. I wish I had a reference point of sorts. Maybe I should take advice from Priyanka Chopra (laughs). But let’s see how that goes.”
