Pakistani actor-singer Ali Zafar, who has acted in Bollywood films like 'Chashme Buddoor', 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan' and 'London Paris New York', says the industry has been very kind to him.
"Bollywood and its people have been very kind, loving and welcoming. I am happy that my work is getting appreciated. I am delighted to work with good directors and actors," Ali told PTI.
He believes that an actor should be flexible and versatile and not remain stuck in groove.
"I want to do different kind of roles. For me the script of the film is very important, followed by who is backing it. Today, marketing the film in right way is also very important," Ali said, adding that he is devoted to his work.
Ali has been roped in for Yash Raj Films (YRF) latest venture 'Kill Dil', being directed by Shaad Ali of 'Saathiya' fame opposite actors Ranveer Singh and Parineeti Chopra in lead roles.
The actor says he will be seen in a rugged avatar in the upcoming movie. After 'Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', this is his second film YRF.
Ali's other project is 'Aman Ki Asha' also starring Yami Gautam of 'Vicky Donor' fame. He is all praise for his co-star.
"Yami is a delight to work with. She is a fabulous actress. In reality, she is a simple girl," the 33-year-old added.
