Ahead of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, Ali Fazal recently made a special post extending his warm wishes to Tom Cruise for the screening of his film Mission: Impossible 8. The actor, known for his stellar performances in projects like Mirzapur, has also worked in international projects like Fast and Furious 7, among others.

On May 13, Ali Fazal posted an old selfie with Tom Cruise, while Hayley Atwell accidentally photobombed them. He shared a heartwarming caption alongside, noting that the international star might as well not need it, but he expressed his gratitude for keeping the “theaters alive ".

He wrote, "Best of luck @tomcruise !! You wont need it .,but sending you wishes here as i also thank you for keeping the theatres alive and hope that we follow after .. and carry on makin movies and telling stories cuz thats really it, all of it- stories."

"I say this for all industries across the globe - we keep each other afloat one way or another, like it or not. We break when we bow - not in humility but in servitude. And so the title like a dilemma always fits - #MissionImpossible," he further added.
