Actor Adil Hussain, known for his awesome performances in films like Life of Pi and English Vinglish, had a delightful fan moment at the Venice International Film Festival. The actor bumped into Hollywood star Mads Mikkelsen, famously known for playing Le Chiffre in Casino Royale.
Adil Hussain took to Instagram on Saturday to share his excitement. Posting two pictures with the Danish actor, he wrote, “Just bumped into Mads Mikkelson at press club in Venice Film Festival. What an actor and humble person #veniceinternationalfilmfestival.”
The post quickly caught attention, with fans celebrating the crossover moment. Many called it a frame to remember, while one user wrote, “Two legends in one picture, wow.”
Mikkelsen, a regular face at international film festivals, is admired for his versatility in films like Another Round, Doctor Strange, and Hannibal. At Venice this year, he was spotted attending screenings and press meets.
Adil Hussain, meanwhile, is in Venice for the premiere of Secret of a Mountain Serpent, directed by Nidhi Saxena. The film explores the struggles of women left behind in a Himalayan village during the late 1990s Kargil War, blending folklore with historical drama.
The 2025 Venice Film Festival has already made headlines with major premieres, including Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, Luca Guadagnino’s After The Hunt starring Julia Roberts, and Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly, which received an 8.5-minute standing ovation. Amidst the glittering lineup, Hussain’s warm encounter with Mikkelsen brought a touch of human charm to the high-profile event.
The festival continues till September 5, but Hussain’s moment with Mikkelsen has already won hearts back home. For many Indian fans, it wasn’t just about two actors meeting, it was about cinema’s power to connect across cultures.
