It's a double bonanza for Ali Fazal with Mirzapur 2, Death On The Nile releasing on same day

Just a few days ago, the makers of the Hindi web-series Mirzapur 2 (2020) announced that the show would begin streaming on Amazon Prime from 23 October. Actor Ali Fazal, who is a part of the series, is very excited as his Hollywood movie, Death On The Nile (2020) will also be releasing in theatres in the US on the same day. 

Reacting to the news, Fazal said in an official statement, “I am happy that the world will get to see these two very different cinematic experiences of mine in the same year. And given the fact that Death On The Nile will be one of the first movies to release worldwide in theatres, I feel it will be a fresh change for audiences across the board. If only there was a panel sitting somewhere watching my work, they’d see the range I am aiming for.”

Commenting on how Mirzapur 2 and Death On The Nile are different from each other, the actor said, “Both the releases have their audiences and are both two different ends of the spectrum. The opportunities presented in front of me have opened up this range. And for an actor, it is nectar.” 

There is no clarity currently on the re-opening of cinema halls in India but Fazal hopes that it happens in time for his film to be released in the country. “Right now, I am just hoping that Death On The Nile gets a theatrical release in India,” he said.
