Ali won't sign new films for a while

Actor Ali Fazal is so immersed in his upcoming film "Khamoshiyan" that he has refused to take up another project.

Last seen as Vidya Balan's love interest in "Bobby Jasoos", the actor says his role in "Khamoshiyan" is "supremely important" and that "playing it with perfection is equally important."

"One of the things that is of utmost importance is the progression of my character. A part of that is me sporting long hair."

"This is an absolute requirement and thus, I can't take up any projects because the interesting ones that are coming my way need me to chop off my locks," Ali said in a statement.

Produced under the Vishesh Films banner, the Karan Dara directorial also features Sapna Pabbi and Gurmeet Chaudhary.
