You know how much I love Omid Djalili! His upcoming comedy “The Infidel” looks like to be the perfect package for this British-Iranian comedian. Religious contrasts, conflicts and confusions have probably never been more personal and funnier than in this British comedy. “The Infidel” bodes a clever yet politically correct twist that delivers this Hollywood-hot-potato theme slightly different and more interesting than what has been done so far.
Rather thought-provoking, if you think about it. A practicing Muslim who finds out that he has been born a Jew! A simple story but a rather complicated theory. I can’t wait to see Omid in the lead role of a movie that finally gives this hardworking artist the break that he deserves. Hopefully “The Infidel” will be that movie!
