'Mirzapur' star Ali Fazal reveals key differences between Bollywood and Hollywood work cultures
Ali Fazal contrasted Bollywood's casual lateness with Hollywood's strict punctuality, sharing how rehearsals in Hollywood start precisely early morning. He admitted to sometimes being fashionably late in India but values the discipline he learned abroad. He also spoke about maintaining a small, close circle of friends despite challenges. Ali Fazal began his Hindi film journey with a supporting role in '3 Idiots' and later featured in movies like 'Always Kabhi Kabhi', 'Baat Ban Gayi', and 'Bobby Jasoos'. Recently, he reflected on the differences between Bollywood and Hollywood, pointing out Bollywood's tendency for fashionable lateness compared to Hollywood's emphasis on punctuality. Strict Punctuality in Hollywood In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ali emphasized the strict punctuality in Hollywood. He explained that in Hollywood, schedules are very precise and well-organized across all departments, not just for actors. He described how, even as early as 4:30 a.m., he might be shaving while rehearsals are already underway by 4:45 a.m. on set. Despite being in a robe or half-shaved, everyone is expected to be present and ready to rehearse before changing into their costumes. This disciplined approach contrasts with the more flexible timing often observed in Bollywood. Personal Routines and the Challenge of Punctuality in India He mentioned that despite the structured schedules, personal routines and vanities still exist within each department. He emphasized that punctuality is a valuable lesson from his Hollywood experience. However, he acknowledged that in India, punctuality is not consistent, and many people, including himself at times, tend to be fashionably late, which he feels bad about. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Perdagangkan CFD Emas dengan Broker Tepercaya IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He admitted that he used to park his car about 500 meters away and walk in late intentionally, but has realized that this habit is not ideal and tries to avoid being very late. Friendship Culture in Bollywood and Hollywood When discussing the culture of friendship in both Hollywood and Bollywood, Ali explained that sometimes there isn't a strong sense of permanence in relationships. He mentioned that he holds on tightly to the good people in his life and has only a few close friends—around five or six. Recently, two of these close friends had a fallout after about five years, which made him feel like his close group was falling apart. However, despite these challenges, he emphasized that his core circle of friends remains strong.
