The two pioneering young names from India
excelling in the west, Ali Fazal and Freida Pinto are now coming together! The
duo who will soon fly to the land down under are the key guests at the upcoming
Indian Film Festival Of Melbourne 2018. These two names who have in their own
way been making a unique space for themselves in the west will be delivering a
talk to Australian audiences about the topic of Indian actors making it big in
Hollywood! This cross cultural topic will have them expressing their views and
opinions on the challenges and the need to overcome the stereotypes associated
with being a non American actor working in the West. Freida who’s flying in
from Los Angeles, her current home will also be attending the Australian
premiere of her film, Love Sonia and Ali has been elected as the Jury member
for the Short Film Awards category at the festival.
Ali Fazal said, "It’s always interesting to
talk to people of different countries and background. It gives you great
perspective. This in fact is my first time to Australia and to get a chance to
interact with film lovers and film students on a topic about crossing over is
exciting and there’s so much to speak about. I remember during the promotions
and post release of Victoria And Abdul, when I spoke to people such varied
background, everyone had such interesting ideas of cinema and it’s role. So I’m
looking forward to do this talk and discussion alongside someone talented like
Freida."
The panel discussion will also have director
Tabrez Noorani, who’s film Love Sonia is also the opening night film of the
fest. It’s all set to take place at Deakin Edge in Melbourne on 11th August
where audiences from across Australia comprising of students and general
audience will be in attendance..
