Abdul Karim has traveled from India to England to deliver a golden coin to her majesty. Brown, about Queen Victoria's (platonic) relationship with her servant, John Brown, following the death of how husband. Sharing his experience on working with Judi Dench, the actor shared how he met her for the first time and eventually with passing time they became friends.
Speaking to media persons during the trailer launch, Fazal also explained how he got the part: "It was a proper process". I'd bet pretty hard on the former at this admittedly early stage, and it'll be curious to see how things shake out.
The first trailer for Victoria & Abdul was released this week and sheds light on how a clerk from India came to become one of the queen's closest confidants.
Asked what was her perception about Bollywood films, Ali said, "Unfortunately (song and dance)".
As feisty as she is, Dench owns up every frame easily. "The subject of the film is different", says Ali, who is excited to work with Paris Jackson, the daughter of pop legend, late Michael Jackson. If rumours are to be believed, her son destroyed all evidence related to their friendship after her death. We are much more than that. Although the friendship between the Queen and her footman is looked down upon by her contemporaries, even her sons and relatives do not bother spying on the then Empress of India.
"We have a far better accent than that". I was obviously very happy. These are the words and names you can't pronounce any other way.
