Ali Fazal's Animated Short Film Tasveer Will Be Screened At The Dharamshala International Film Festival

Ali Fazal is already been lauded for his performance in the new season of Amazon Prime’s Mirzapur. Not only this, the actor has another important reason to celebrate as his animated short film Tasveer for which he lent his voice will screen at the Dharamshala International Film Festival (October 29- 4 November). The film is written and directed by Ashutosh Pathak.

Tasveer was an emotional tale told thoughtfully by Ashutosh. Both Ali and Pathak showed their support for the people who are affected by the ongoing crisis due to COVID-19. The video was beautifully crafted. The film talked about the importance and need of being kind, during these times, it spoke about ways in which we can be empathetic towards the underprivileged especially in situations like these. Tasveer was widely appreciated as it brought into the light the matter that needs to be discussed.

Ashutosh’s animation and Ali's voice brought life into the film. Now as the movie is screening at a festival, Fazal is determined that the film’s story and theme would reach out to several people all over the world. As the last 6 months have been really tough for all the migrant and daily wage workers. The actor-director duo feels that after watching Tasveer, people would certainly be more kind and empathetic to everyone. 

Ali says, “We are so happy that a small video we made will now screen at a reputed film festival. Ashutosh's visual had great power and his lines, even more. It was hard to not be moved by his writing and the theme of what he was telling. This was the kind of art that asks the right questions and I am glad our cry for kindness was heard, appreciated, and have found new takers."
