Key Highlight
  • Ibrahim bags his second film even before his debut vehicle releases in theatres next year
  • Kunal Deshmukh has previously directed love stories like Jannat franchise, Tum Mile, and Shiddat
  • Ibrahim to begin shooting for Dinesh Vijan's Diler in December 2023

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son, and Sara Ali Khan’s brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan, is all set to make his Bollywood debut with Dharma Productions’ Sarzameen. The action thriller centered around Kashmir terrorism also stars Kajol and Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran in lead roles and is being directed by Boman Irani’s son, Kayoz Irani. Now, we hear the 22-year-old Jr. Nawab of Bollywood has bagged his second movie, even before his debut vehicle releases in theatres next year.

Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that Ibrahim Ali Khan is doing his second film with Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. The young actor will headline Jannat and Shiddat director Kunal Deshmukh’s next romantic drama, tentatively titled ‘Diler’. "Ibrahim Ali Khan loved the script and immediately gave his nod. It’s a very balanced, well-written love story that promises to take audiences on a ride filled with love and music. The conversation with Ibrahim has reached a final stage, and he will soon be signing on the dotted line. Ibrahim’s jump from thriller to romance also showcases his versatility as an upcoming performer," an industry source told us, adding that the makers are yet to finalize the lead actress for the film.

The Dinesh Vijan production is scheduled to go on floors in December 2023 and will largely be shot in London. Before embarking on this new journey, Ibrahim will finish the pending shooting of his debut movie, Sarzameen, which went on floors in February and still has some portions left to complete. The Dharma Productions venture reportedly features Ibrahim in the role of a terrorist, while Kajol and Prithviraj are said to be playing a married couple. The film also marks Karan Johar and Kajol’s first professional collaboration after a hiatus of twelve years.
