Imtiaz Ali

Filmmaker colleagues of Asif Basra, who died this week, remember him as a gentle, thoughtful actor who could be moulded into any part.
This show is the the work of people with dangerous notions about sexual assault.

The actor says that the perception that he'll only do starry roles and not anything else caused a dent in his career.
