Fahadh Faasil dreams of becoming an Uber driver in Barcelona post retirement: ‘After people are done with me'
Fahadh Faasil's dream Uber run
Fahadh was asked if he still dreams of driving an Uber in Barcelona, and he replied, 'Absolutely. We were in Barcelona a few months ago. So, yeah, of course. It'll only happen after people are done with me, you know? I mean, jokes apart, but just to drive someone from one place to another. At least, witnessing someone's destination, I think that's a beautiful thing. I still do that every time I get a chance. That's my time. Not just driving, you constantly engage yourself in things you love doing, be it a game or sport or watching TV. I think it helps in the way you look at things.'
He was referring to a statement he made in an interview with IE in 2020 when he said, 'As of now, there is nothing else that I would enjoy doing other than being an Uber driver. I would love to drive people around. I tell my wife (Nazriya Nazim) that as a retirement plan, I wish to move to Barcelona and drive people across Spain. She loves this plan.'
Recent work
Fahadh was last seen in the hit Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu films Aavesham, Bougainvillea, Vettaiyan and Pushpa 2: The Rule. Maareesan, directed by Sudheesh Shankar and co-starring Vadivelu, was released in theatres on July 25. He also has the Malayalam films Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, Karate Chandran, and Patriot in Malayalam lined up, apart from Don't Trouble The Trouble in Telugu.
