Ali Fazal was casually dressed in a beige T-shirt and jeans as he modestly posed next to the Kandahar release poster. Perhaps, blending into his role of undercover intelligence agent!
He was joined by his wife Richa Chadha for the special screening, as well as Bhagyashree’s son ‘Nikamma’ actor Abhimanyu Dassani
Elnaz Nourozi who is also part of the Kandahar cast attended the event. She shot to fame with her performance in ‘Sacred Games’ and revealed that he was initially intimidated and then had a crush on Gerard Butler on the Hollywood film set
Ali Fazal and Pulkit Samrat had starred together in Fukrey. Pulkit attended the event to support his friend, along with girlfriend and ‘Veerey Ki Wedding’ actress Kriti Karbhanda
Harshita Gaur who plays Fazal’s on-screen sister in Mirzapur was also one of the invitees along with Isha Talwar. Here, the entire group seems to be enjoying a goofy moment!
Other cast members from Mirzapur including Divyenndu and Anjum Sharma also graced the event. It also saw an appearance by Mirzapur director, Gurmeet Singh. Way to show some support off-screen!
Hussain Dalal, Fazal’s co-star in psychological thriller, 'The Underbug', was also present. Reviews say that Fazal’s performance in Kandahar is also as sinisterly spectacular
Arunoday Singh was also in attendance at the event. He is reportedly Fazal and Chadha’s neighbour!
‘Ludo’ star Asha Negi also attended Fazal’s special screening
