9/11 delay shaped Fahadh Faasil's film career
30 Sep
Summary
- September 11 attacks delayed Fahadh's US studies
- US stay became a major turning point in his life
- Return to India sparked his acting career revival
The September 11, 2001, terror attacks significantly impacted actor Fahadh Faasil's life, delaying his post-high school plans to study in the United States. Initially frustrated, this period of waiting led him to attend SD College in Alappuzha for a year before finally departing for America.
His six-year sojourn in the US proved transformative. Fahadh initially pursued engineering but later switched to philosophy, a decision that broadened his worldview. This period exposed him to diverse people, literature, and international cinema, fundamentally changing his outlook on life and filmmaking.
Interestingly, his renewed passion for acting was a key reason for his return to India. After his debut film's failure, he had left for the US, contemplating a life abroad. However, his experiences overseas ignited a desire to act again, leading him to make one more film, which ultimately launched his successful acting career.
