The 30-year-old actor, who was part of popular films such as "3 Idiots" and "Fukrey", says he has no godfather in the industry and is happy with the way things are turning out for him.
In an interview with PTI, Fazal says, "Doing less films is sometimes intentional, but sometimes things just don't work out. In the beginning, I was doing whatever came my way. But that's how life is. I am not sitting around calling a 'daddy' to make a movie for me.
Fazal will next be seen in Hollywood project "Victoria and Abdul". The actor says the West has realised that Indian actors have much more to offer than just dancing around trees.
"I never thought I would do something in Hollywood after I started with a series in the West, which was a small stint. But now it is great. Hollywood has realised that we do have actors and are not just mad about song and dance. Priyanka Chopra has already done well for herself."
