With a busy calendar ahead, including the Hollywood film Afghan Dreamers, Fazal is focused on meeting all his deadlines and ensuring that each project receives the attention it deserves. “Ali has always been known for his work ethic, but since returning from paternity leave, he’s been on another level. He’s juggling multiple projects while also making up for the time he took off to be with his family. He’s tirelessly shuffling between sets, working extended hours, and coordinating with his team to ensure he meets all deadlines. He is determined not to let the break impact his film schedules,” informed a source, adding that the actor is preparing for Rakht Brahmand. “Ali has been putting in extra hours for script readings, workshops, and intense training sessions to embody his character for Rakht Brahmand,” said the source, noting that he is pushing himself to new limits.
