Even as he is counting the days to the release of Kenneth Branagh's Death on the Nile, Ali Fazal has landed another Hollywood project. The actor has bagged the lead role in the war drama, tentatively titled Codename: Johnny Walker, which is written by Academy Award nominee and former writer of The Tonight Show, Alan Wenkus.
In a chat with GQ for its October 2020 issue, Fazal said that he is hoping to begin shooting for the movie in Los Angeles soon. "People [in the West] are now more open to writing parts that can have actors from across the canvas. It is hard to do because you have to get geography out of your head," he says.
