Actor Faisal Malik, known for his roles in Anurag Kashyap’s “Gangs of Wasseypur” and TVF’s “Panchayat Season 3,” is garnering praise for his performance in the latest season of “Panchayat.” In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Faisal shared an intriguing incident from his past where his honesty led to losing a project with Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan.
Faisal reminisced about meeting Amitabh Bachchan with Anurag Kashyap for a show. Excited to meet the iconic actor, Faisal presented his copy for an autograph but soon found himself engaged in a candid conversation with Bachchan. He mentioned how Bachchan’s energy and engagement surprised him, especially when he effortlessly remembered a 120-page script without referring to it during their meeting.
However, the turning point came when Bachchan asked Faisal about the timing of shooting the project. Faisal, being straightforward, suggested waiting six months before shooting, which led to him being dropped from the project for his honesty.
“Panchayat,” the show in which Faisal currently stars, is a comedy-drama featuring a talented ensemble cast including Jitendra Kumar, Raghuvir Yadav, and Neena Gupta. The series, backed by The Viral Fever and streaming on Amazon Prime, has been praised for its unique storytelling and performances.
Faisal Malik’s journey in Bollywood and his recent success in “Panchayat” highlight his versatility and dedication to his craft. As audiences appreciate his nuanced performances, Faisal continues to make his mark in the entertainment industry, showcasing his talent and honesty in every role he takes on.
