Why Ali Fazal will be gone too fast from Furious 7
Actor Ali Fazal, who has just bagged a role in Pooja Bhatt's production Love Affair, has no qualms in admitting that his Hollywood debut, Fast and Furious 7, will feature him in just three scenes. He says if actors project more than what they deliver, that's when they get criticised.

Fast and Furious 7, featuring Hollywood giants like Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, is coming to theatres in April.

Asked if his case is going to be different, Ali said: "I have three scenes in the film. I haven't said otherwise, nor do I want people to expect more. It's an integral part, and an important one. I liked it so I did it."
He is as blunt as it gets when he said: "We get criticised because we project more than we deliver."
"We don't need to...Tom Cruise can't come and replace Salman bhai (Salman Khan). He will be welcomed if he does a cameo in Dabangg... Simple, it's the same," added the actor.
