His role within the Fukrey franchise was also appreciated a lot by the audience. He starred in the lead along with 3 other actors, i.e. Pulki Samrat, Manjit Singh and Varun Sharma. Unlike the rest of the goofballs, Zafar is the soft-hearted and the quiet one in the group. His role balanced out all the over the top comedy in the film series.

This Netflix film was definitely a unique one. It featured the actor playing the role of an agoraphobic person, i.e. the person who fears unusual circumstances and doesn’t leave home as a result. Despite that, he gets caught in the whirlwind of mobsters and gangsters. It is an entertaining watch with Ali in a very interesting yet unconventional avatar.

5. Guddu Pandit (Mirzapur)

He had a authentic character arc in the first season of the show which depicted many shades of his character. The second season is going to release soon and everyone is extremely excited to see Ali as ‘Guddu’ once again.
