Ali Fazal is gearing up to share the screen with the powerhouse Phoebe Waller-Bridge in the upcoming Hollywood film Rule Breakers, which is hitting theaters in March 2025. The film, based on the inspiring true story of Afghanistan’s first all-girls robotics team, tackles themes of resilience and defiance against the harsh political climate of the country. Ali, who’s no stranger to international projects like Victoria & Abdul and Death on the Nile, couldn’t be more excited about working with Phoebe. He described her as a "powerhouse of talent" and was thrilled to be part of such a meaningful story.

In a chat with Times Entertainment, Ali opened up about how close to his heart this project is. He mentioned how the strength and determination of the Afghan girls in the film resonate with him, especially given the challenges they faced. For Ali, Rule Breakers is one of those films that every parent should take their daughter to watch, and he couldn’t help but rave about how inspiring the story is. He also couldn’t speak highly enough of Phoebe, saying her presence in the film has taken it to new heights. The two actors play key roles at different stages in the life of Roya Mahboob, the founder of the Afghan Girls Robotics Team, a figure who stands at the center of this remarkable journey.

Directed by two-time Academy Award winner Bill Guttentag, Rule Breakers promises to be a compelling watch, telling the story of young girls defying the odds with their love for robotics. Ali’s role in this film is another feather in his cap as he continues to make his mark on the international film scene.
On a personal note, Ali recently became a father for the first time with his wife, Richa Chadha. The couple welcomed their daughter, Zuneyra Ida Fazal, in July 2024, sharing the joyful news in an interview with Vogue India.
