Ali Fazal is set to make waves in Hollywood once again with his upcoming film, Rule Breakers, scheduled for release in North American theaters on March 7, 2025. The film’s premiere is strategically timed just ahead of International Women’s Day, reinforcing its message of empowerment and resilience. Fazal recently shared the first look of his character, expressing his pride in being part of a project that highlights the power of women, the significance of education, and the triumph of perseverance in the face of adversity. In the film, he portrays Samir Sinha, a tech expert based in Los Angeles.

A compelling and emotionally charged drama, Rule Breakers revolves around the journey of a fearless woman who dares to educate young girls in a society where such an act is considered rebellious. Her groundbreaking initiative not only sparks hope but also draws significant opposition. As the movement gains global recognition, it becomes both an inspiration and a source of conflict, forcing those involved to make difficult personal sacrifices. Despite mounting challenges, their unwavering commitment ignites a revolution that has the power to change the world.
Ali Fazal, sharing his excitement about the film, stated, “This film is a gem, and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of it. Rule Breakers is not just a story—it’s a bold and powerful statement on courage, unity, and the transformative impact of education. The fact that it’s releasing just before Women’s Day in the U.S. makes it even more special, as it aligns with the global celebration of women’s strength and resilience. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this journey on the big screen.”
With its poignant narrative and socially relevant message, Rule Breakers is expected to be a landmark addition to Fazal’s already diverse filmography. The film also features the critically acclaimed Phoebe Waller-Bridge, adding to its star power, and is helmed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Bill Guttentag. Combining stellar performances, a gripping storyline, and a strong thematic core, Rule Breakers is set to leave a lasting impact, making it one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
