Following the massive popularity of his character Guddu Pandit in Mirzapur and the anticipation surrounding the upcoming film adaptation, sources confirm that Ali will soon be seen collaborating with one of India’s biggest action superstars for a large-scale action project.
While an official announcement is awaited, the discussions are underway for what could turn out to be one of the actor’s most ambitious films yet.
Ali Fazal has steadily carved a space for himself as a versatile actor, moving effortlessly between intense dramas, international projects, and streaming shows. Now, as per reports, he is gearing up for a new phase in his career, one that has the potential to place him firmly in the action arena.
Following the massive popularity of his character Guddu Pandit in Mirzapur and the anticipation surrounding the upcoming film adaptation, sources confirm that Ali will soon be seen collaborating with one of India’s biggest action superstars for a large-scale action project.
While an official announcement is awaited, the discussions are underway for what could turn out to be one of the actor’s most ambitious films yet.

A source close to the development shared, “Ali has always had the physicality and intensity required for action. With Mirzapur already establishing him as a powerful action presence, the industry is looking at him very seriously for bigger action-led films. There is work happening towards a massive project with a major action star, and this could be one of the most exciting collaborations for Ali”.
Ali’s journey into action is not entirely new. His intense portrayal of Guddu Pandit made him synonymous with raw, gritty action on the Indian OTT landscape. Beyond that, his Hollywood outing in Kandahar alongside Gerard Butler showcased his ability to hold his own in high-octane international action cinema.
The actor’s physicality, screen presence, and emotional intensity have often made audiences connect deeply with his performances. The project could mark a significant turning point, positioning Ali among the next generation of Bollywood actors taking on large-scale action spectacles.
Meanwhile, besides Mirzapur: The Film, Ali will be seen embracing a lover boy avatar in the much-awaited Lust Stories 3, marking a return to the romantic genre. He was last seen in Metro In Dino, where he played a soft-hearted musician dealing with the complexities of love and vulnerability. Talking of Mirzapur: The Film, it will be released theatrically on September 4.
