I first came across The Reluctant Fundamentalist not through the book, but the movie adaptation directed by Mira Nair. It was one of those serendipitous discoveries—a late evening of browsing, where the title itself seemed intriguing enough to warrant a watch. The film starred Riz Ahmed in the lead role of Changez Khan, a young Pakistani man grappling with identity, ambition, and belonging in a post-9/11 world. Liev Schreiber, Kate Hudson, and Kiefer Sutherland delivered strong supporting performances, with Schreiber playing an American journalist interviewing Changez under increasingly tense circumstances.
