In an interview with Mid-Day, Bollywood actor Ali Fazal opened up about the boycott Mirzapur 2 calls and stated that he won't stop raising his voice as 'an artist in a free world'. He expressed his disappointment regarding the boycott call because there are a number of people associated with Mirzapur 2.

The 33-year-old continued saying he does not want others to bear the brunt of his actions. However, with that being said, he also set the record straight that he will not stop raising his voice.

Elaborating more about the same, Fazal stated that he is an artiste in a free world and he is supposed to raise questions. He also feels that the environment of hate needs to be tackled with peace.
