Riz Ahmed Says 'Hamlet' Gets to the 'Heart of the Present Moment': 'What We're All Feeling Is Powerless'

Riz Ahmed is once again teaming up with Aneil Karia, this time for a new adaptation of "Hamlet." And for the actor, Shakespeare's classic story is more resonant than ever because entire swaths of people are now being made to feel "powerless" and "gaslit." Karia's take on the classic play is set in present-day London, but still maintains the original text. Ahmed stars as the Dane and, sitting down with TheWrap's Steve Pond at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, he and Karia delighted in the fact that Ahmed is just one of the many Hamlets in pop culture right . . .
