Much like other actors, Mustafa is also keen on being a part of a biopic. And, the actor shares that he'd love to work in a film made on cricketer Virat Kohli's life, as his achievements will make for a very interesting film.
"The biopics that are being made now are brilliant. Look at Sanju, I loved the film. Such films require a lot of clarity and are very difficult to make because if you go wrong somewhere, the essence of the story gets lost. I'd love do a biopic. Virat is my favourite player. I'd love to portray his character on screen. I used to play cricket. In fact, I still do. So, a film on cricket is something I will be able to connect with," says Mustafa, son of Abbas Burmawala of the director duo Abbas- Mustan.
Before making his Bollywood debut with Machine (2017), Mustafa had assisted for films such as Players (2012), Race 2 (2013) and Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon (2015).
Asked is he plans to take up direction anytime soon, Mustafa confesses he doesn't see himself as a director: "Honestly, I don't really see myself as a director. I assisted them to know more about the art of cinema."
On how he deals with expectations that come along being the son of a popular filmmaker, Mustafa says, "I thank God that I had my father and uncle to guide me. But, the bad part is the expectation. So, I have decided to keep calm and work harder. About nepotism, it's everywhere... It's quite natural for your parents to help you," he says.
