Ali Fazal to team up with Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge for upcoming international film

Ali Fazal is set to collaborate with Fleabag actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge for their upcoming international film Rule Breakers.

Ali Fazal has secured his next international film role in Rule Breakers, where he will share the screen with Fleabag star and creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Directed by two-time Oscar winner Bill Guttentag and produced by Angel Studios, the film delves into themes of resilience and defiance in Afghanistan. Rule Breakers is set to release in March. Fazal expressed his excitement about being part of the project and collaborating with such a talented actor as Waller-Bridge.

Ali Fazal said, "This project resonates with me deeply, and I believe it’s crucial to tell stories that highlight the strength and resilience of individuals in challenging circumstances. I look forward to bringing this narrative to life and reaching audiences globally. I am so thrilled to be able to support a film that we think every parent should take their daughter to watch in the theatres. And the story being so inspiring, it was no surprise that Phoebe Waller-Bridge also stepped in. She is a powerhouse of talent, so her addition I am sure has lifted the film to greater heights."

Ali Fazal, who was last seen in the Hollywood film Kandahar (2023) alongside Gerard Butler, has made a name for himself in international cinema with roles in films like Victoria & Abdul, Furious 7, and Death on the Nile.
