Ali, I believe that you’ve now made it into the list of ‘India’s Most Desirable Man’ too… And now with Mirzapur, people especially girls are swooning over you. So do you think you can finally call yourself a poster boy?

Ha Ha! I am not sure about being called a ‘poster boy’, but I’m getting a lot of love from everybody… and that’s not just for the look of the film, but also the storyline. So I’m glad… good performances make everything look so attractive, right?

What made you choose Mirzapur? You were supposedly warned by people not to do this film. Is that true?
