FAHADH FAASILMost of the films that I do help me learn something.
FAHADH FAASILIf I do a film, I go to the place where it is based on, interact with people, and then, I believe, you pick up things without you even noticing.
FAHADH FAASILWhen I began acting, my biggest fear was whether the audience will appreciate the kind of films I do.
FAHADH FAASILIn Malayalam, I can improvise, and acting is easy because I think in Malayalam, but for ‘Velaikkaran,’ I had to prepare for a role, which is a first for me.
FAHADH FAASILI like to laugh and to make people laugh.
FAHADH FAASILI give my best to each role that I do.
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 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 FAASILI trust my directors to see me through, for I don’t consider myself as a natural actor – or a good one at that.
FAHADH FAASILLet me make something clear: I can’t do anything in particular to make others laugh. I do what is necessary for a character. The body language of the character may make others laugh.
FAHADH FAASILPeople expect star kids to be perfect – horse-riding, fighting.
FAHADH FAASILThe less people know about you, the more you understand how beautiful life is. It’s good when you exist only on screen. I don’t want them to take me home. I love to have my privacy.
FAHADH FAASILMy father hasn’t backed me in any way, and I don’t think anybody has backed me.
FAHADH FAASILI have been fortunate to collaborate with people who have been open to discussion. If I tell them something, they have always explained to me why they want it the other way.
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 FAASILRoles don’t fascinate me. It is the narrative, the screenplay that is fascinating.
