Actor Fahadh Faasil, who is currently promoting his film Maareesan, recently revisited his unconventional retirement dream of becoming an Uber driver in Spain. For those unversed, a few years back, Fahadh had revealed that after retirement, he wishes to become an Uber driver in Barcelona.
Now, in a recent conversation with The Hollywood Reporter India, Fahadh was asked if he still holds on to the dream. Without hesitation, the actor responded, "Absolutely. We were in Barcelona a few months ago. So, yeah, of course. It’ll only happen after people are done with me, you know? I mean, jokes apart, but just to drive someone from one place to another...at least, witnessing someone’s destination, I think that’s a beautiful thing."
The Pushpa actor added that this simple act of transporting someone resonates with him. "I still do that every time I get a chance. That’s my time. Not just driving, you constantly engage yourself in things you love doing, be it a game or sport or watching TV. I think it helps in the way you look at things."
Fahadh was referring to a remark he made in 2020 during an interview with Indian Express, where he had revealed his dream. "As of now, there is nothing else that I would enjoy doing other than being an Uber driver. I would love to drive people around. I tell my wife (Nazriya Nazim) that as a retirement plan, I wish to move to Barcelona and drive people across Spain. She loves this plan."
As one of Malayalam cinema’s most acclaimed actors, Fahadh's retirement goal may seem unusual but it's clear he finds joy in life's simpler journeys.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Fahadh was last seen as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat IPS in Allu Arjun's Pushpa 2: The Rule. Besides Maareesan, he has other films like Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, Don’t Trouble The Trouble, Patriot and Karate Chandran in the pipeline.
If media reports are to be believed, Fahadh is also all set to make his Bollywood debut soon with an Imtiaz Ali film titled The Idiot of Istanbul.
