As a mallu, 'MY STUFF IS HERE' is pure goosebumps🤩

[arul_r_learner]

The whole interview was Anupuma struggling to make Fahadh accept that he is the finest actor in the country

[aupmanyu]

He's my favourite actor! So delightful.

[Dfghjdal]

I applaud him for giving due credits to the technicians in the movie. That's how it's done. It's not about the actor alone. It's a team effort. Unlike other actors who talk as if they have directed the movie.

[lazylistening]

Can't believe this is the same guy who blows our minds through his characters on the big screen. In real life he seems introverted and humble.

[albinjxavier]

Fahad Fazil is a gem of Malayalam film industry.
After Mammootty/Mohanlal era, there's someone to keep up the face of Malayalam industry.😊

[Goldy]

As an introvert, I completely understand how he feels and what he is saying. Such a brilliant actor and still feels insecure as he is a perfectionist.

[jasilm]

Fahad Faasil gives me a Cillian Murphy vibe ❤ what an actor.

Fun thought: Don't you guys think Thomas Shelby and Rangannaa have some common ground? They're both gang leaders with broken pasts that haunt them throughout the show. It's the presentation that distinguishes them

നല്ല തീരുമാനം ഫഹദ്... കേരളത്തിലെ തല്ലിപ്പൊളി യുട്യൂബ് ചാനലുകൾക്ക് ഇരുന്ന് കൊടുക്കാതെ ഇതുപോലുള്ള സ്റ്റാൻഡേർഡ് ചാനലുകൾക്ക് ഇന്റർവ്യൂ കൊടുക്കുന്നത് 💕

[omniscientreviews]

First Oscar as Lead Actor will be gone to this guy...
Love from Maharashtra FAFA...

[BevinBaby]

FAFA interviews are so rare that when one drops its like a movie 🍿

[be]

Those eyes are everything 😍🫠 Loads of love from a Bengali.... 90% of my Ott watchlist is Malayalam films now

[veynz]

The man is so honest and humble. He's honest about his weaknesses (like not being comfortable speaking and not speaking to the point in interviews) while he's humble about his achievements (always giving more credit to his costars and technicians). Thank you Anupama for this rare interview of a unique talent!

[anakhasmitha]

"Films i do here i don't think i can do it anywhere...the idea of the film is most important" fahad just said it❤😂

[AVCCreativeOfficial]

This guy is going to get Academy Award in few years... but still he is being too modest.

[anjalinair]

"My stuff is here" ... Goosebumps for every mallu 👑💥🔥🤩😍

[shahkarim]

I like that Fahadh is laid back in his approach. Nowadays audience has made him a status symbol. If you like Fahadh, you’re an intellectual. I’m glad Fahadh still got his dad’s humbleness

[aka]

Whatever Fahad said, After see his acting, we the audiences are bound to say there is no actor like Fahad Faasil in the whole indian sub continent right now. His acting is much superior than other actors. He re-defined the whole acting game and it is too difficult for other actors to reach his level.

[harisarif]

A simple man offscreen and beast on screen.. he is literally the versatile legend of modern cinema

[Wire.scientist]

Fahad is the numero uno greatest Indian Actor of this generation...true potential to be an International phenomenon..and proud that he is so down to earth and from Kerala❤️
