Actor Adil Hussain , whose film ' 52 Blue ' is set to be screened at the upcoming edition of the London Indian Film Festival , has heaped praise on the director of the film Ali El Arabi .
Ali El Arabi is professionally involved in kickboxing , and has also won Egypt's national kickboxing championship.
The actor spoke with IANS recently, and shared how Ali's combat skills trickle down into filmmaking.
He told IANS, "His continuous improvisation of how to tell the story started by first thinking of a tiny part of the story. He just conceived then he shot that first. And then he built up the whole story. So he's continuously improvising. In kickboxing, you have to continuously improvise. You are in the moment, and you are assessing, reading, and taking action. Without being present in the moment, you can't do that".
