The Timely film that tackles terrorism and its roots, it’s called "Reluctant Fundamentalist." Yesterday here, from one of its stars, kate Hudson. It's great to have her co-star Riz Ahmed here with us today. Thank you for coming in. Good to see you.

Thank you for having me.

Thank you for going coatless here in this season.

Yeah, you’re gonna know why. I was thinking, I just kind of think it was America, it is the picturely sunny place so I can just come in with a T-shirt.

Well, certainly, there is another fascinating story. You play a character, a Pakistani man in America after 9/11. He's climbing the ladder upon wall street, and 9/11 happens and everything changes for him.

Yeah, I mean in many ways, the film is about the American dream. It's about an immigrant coming to this country full of hope and optimism, about the promise that this country holds out for so many people. And it's a kind of, I guess, a couple of aged story. It’s about a young man finding his way in life. And he does that through his relationships with Jim Cross, played by Keva Sullevin, his boss. And with the lovely Kate Hudson.

You fought hard for this role. And what a prize. You played Kate’s …

I didn't get to take the prize home, though. Fortunately I didn’t get the kids …

And, well, now it was amazing working with Kate. She is someone I voice, you know, I had tremendous admiration for the, I mean I’m gonna tell you, she had a 1-month- old baby onset. So it’s be able to film such long hours. Each week she'd go from breast feeding and on action hand the baby to someone, and then burst into tears, you know, moments later, and it’s absolutely incredible.

It’s anouncing, probably powerful film, that it’s your first leading role. But I’m told you're also a rapper?

I am. Yes, I am.

Can you give us a little?

But you got to help me out a little bit, maybe.

Now this guy is actually gonna help me out.

It’s an operation. You get to go the number one. A duel fists out of this. Okay, so guys, the movie is out Friday, Mirror Night directed it. What’s it called, George?

The Reluctant Fundamentalist.

There we go. And I got fans now, if you like. I am the guy people stop me and say I loved you in the life and pie. But that was not what …

Yeah!
