Actor shuns 'best friend' roles: No fear of typecasting

Actor-writer Hussain Dalal is unfazed by industry labels, including the notion of being typecast as the hero's best friend. He maintains that strategic career choices, such as alternating roles like those in 'Toofan' and 'Jee Karda', prevent such stereotyping. Dalal suggests that the rise of streaming platforms has cultivated a more discerning audience, making careful selection key to avoiding typecasting.

He also expressed confidence in the enduring value of writers in cinema, even within the corporate-leaning OTT landscape. Dalal views artificial intelligence as a useful assistant for administrative tasks but firmly dismisses its potential to replace human creativity. He believes genuine storytelling remains the domain of individuals with the capacity to think, feel, and imagine.
