Ali Hassan talks about his character 

For Ali, the foundation of any decision begins with the character. “I think one of the major things that drove me to doing a particular character is the character itself.” He explained that what initially appears simple often reveals greater complexity with time. “If the character is good, initially it looks like a very single dimension person. But when you start digging deep, this person has so many layers to him. Nice. And that is what got my attention.”
