I like to laugh and to make people laugh.
FAHADH FAASILI like to laugh and to make people laugh.
FAHADH FAASILThere are two kinds of films: the ones that are devoid of logic but can still hijack the audience, and those that can win them over with logic. Both kinds can succeed, and I like to work in both.
FAHADH FAASILThe closest encounter I had with films in my childhood was sitting on the lap of my father at a shooting set, and he would say ‘rain,’ and it started raining, and then he would say ‘song,’ and people started dancing. I thought I was sitting on God’s lap.
FAHADH FAASILPeople know me through my characters. I don’t think they have any idea about the individual that I am. They know I am a director’s son, and I am married to an actress.
FAHADH FAASILMy father hasn’t backed me in any way, and I don’t think anybody has backed me.
FAHADH FAASILI have grown up seeing success and failure.
FAHADH FAASILPeople often ask whether marriage has changed me. I didn’t marry because I had to change.
FAHADH FAASILI’m not a person who goes out of my way to change my look. I like my characters to look as natural as possible.
FAHADH FAASILI feel that entertainment happens when fact and fiction is balanced.
FAHADH FAASILI want my films to make money first. Awards and all can come later.
FAHADH FAASILWhen I began acting, my biggest fear was whether the audience will appreciate the kind of films I do.
FAHADH FAASILThe five directors in ‘5 Sundarikal’ experimented, and it was a very personal exercise. Amal, Anwar, Aashiq, and Sameer have done things that they have never done before. Debutant Shyju has also made a beautiful film.
FAHADH FAASILI would like to look funny on screen, doing comedy.
FAHADH FAASILFor me, ‘Diamond Necklace’ is a commercial attempt, as it has songs and glamour.
FAHADH FAASILI want to entertain viewers as much as possible.
FAHADH FAASILI try to choose characters that don’t remind the audience of my previous roles. I make a conscious effort for that.
