Shapeshifting is a joy for any actor, but for Ali Fazal, navigating two different worlds is both exhilarating and mind-boggling. While the actor plays a king in Netflix’s fantasy drama Rakt Bramhand, he is also shooting for Amazon Prime Video’s gritty crime thriller helmed by Prosit Roy. “Rakt Bramhand is an expansive period drama, a genre I’ve never explored at this scale, while Prosit Roy’s thriller is raw and intense. The mental shift required between these projects is immense, but I thrive on unpredictability, and this phase is allowing me to explore the full spectrum of my craft,” says the actor.
