Ali Fazal made headlines all across last year when he was selected as the actor to be paired opposite Judi Dench in the period drama, Victoria and Abdul. Directed by Academy Award Nominee, Stephen Frears, the film is based on the book by Shrabani Basu and tells the tale of the final years of Queen Victoria in the late 1800s when she developed a special bond with an Indian clerk.
The story tells the endearing tale of an unlikely friendship and the rise of Abdul Karim as one of the most influential court men in the Victorian Empire.
The trailer was released a few months ago and was well received by the people inside and outside the industry. Now the first full character poster of Ali Fazal in his regal avatar has been released.
The film has been produced by Focus Features and BBC Films and will be released in September.
