The characters I portray are an extension of what I’ve seen, heard, or read, and so what you see in my films are how I understand life.

FAHADH FAASILI have always maintained that the audience should take a call on this. Its up to them to decide whether they want to see a pirated version or not. They should understand the effort and amount of hard work that go into a film.
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 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 often see only my mistakes. I always feel I could have done better. Every artist goes through it.
FAHADH FAASILWhen I listen to a basic thought, I try to visualise the cinema in it. Sometimes it is dark, sometimes boyish, sometimes amateurish. It is a trial and error method. But the bottom line is that I want to entertain the audience.
FAHADH FAASILI wasn’t really sure about the kind of films I wanted to be a part of. That’s when I saw ‘Aaranya Kaandam.’ I was stunned; it was such a stylish film.
FAHADH FAASILI would like to look funny on screen, doing comedy.
FAHADH FAASILThe only thing my famous last name got me was a foothold in the industry. That was the easy part. The biggest problem is survival. As Fazil’s son, I am expected to know everything – acting, dancing, horse riding… I am not trained in all these, and I don’t think I ever will be.
FAHADH FAASILI am a bad boy. I don’t come across clearly to a lot of people, so I am bad for them.
FAHADH FAASILIt’s the failure of my debut film which made me an actor, which made me want to succeed in the industry. But that doesn’t mean I regret whatever choices I’ve made over the years. No, not even ‘Kaiyethum Doorathu!’
FAHADH FAASILMistakes happen, and then you try to overcome those. I like that process.
FAHADH FAASILI thoroughly enjoyed shooting for ‘Velaikkaran,’ and I made a great friend in Sivakarthikeyan during the process. Also, it was wonderful working with director Mohan Raja. I have not seen a director who takes so much effort to get things the best way possible.
FAHADH FAASILMy father hasn’t backed me in any way, and I don’t think anybody has backed me.
FAHADH FAASILI like to laugh and to make people laugh.
FAHADH FAASILMy thought process is in Malayalam. So, every time I have to work outside Malayalam, the process is a little stressful. I have to translate my Malayalam thoughts into English and back to Tamil.
