The forthcoming British-American biographical drama film, Victoria & Abdul, which marks the Hollywood debut of Bollywood actor, Ali Fazal, is all set for a world premiere at the annual Venice International Film Festival. The film is amongst the line-up of some of the biggest films of the year and will have its premiere on the 4th of September in the beautiful Italian city, before it releases on 15th September. Venice International Film Festival is one amongst the top 3 most respected film festivals in the world along with Cannes and Berlin.

Directed by Academy Award Nominee, Stephen Frears, the film will see Indian actor Ali Fazal in an important role. Ali is happy that his film is going to be premiered at the prestigious film festival before its release in India. "After TIFF, I'm happy and proud to say we are also up in Venice alongside the best of the best. To be a frontrunner at a place where Robert Redford and Jane Fonda will be honoured and along with so many other legends present there, I just feel cool and honoured. So, let the games begin", the actor said.

The whole cast of the film is flying down from across the world to be present at the premiere which is said to be a royal affair! Now with this announcement, we are most certainly excited to have our very own Ali Fazal be sharing this global stage and rubbing shoulders with some of the best talents from across the world.
