New Delhi: There are many ways to introduce Ibrahim Ali Khan. He is Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son, Sara Ali Khan’s brother and the grandson of Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Ali Khan Pataudi. Well, he’s all set for his Bollywood debut next year. And who else but Karan Johar is giving him the big break!
While not many details about his first Hindi film are revealed yet, titled Sarzameen, the film will be directed by Kayoze Irani, son of Boman Irani.
Hindustan Times quoted a source as saying that Karan Johar has roped in his close friend Kajol for the film. The film is said to have no female opposite Ibrahim but “Kajol plays a crucial role.”
It further quoted the source as saying that Ibrahim is very warm and childish. He is new to the business and has yet to catch up. He has zero attitude. Unlike some other newcomers, he isn’t over-smart (or doesn’t carry the star kid tag). Work-wise, he was good. And, of course, he reminds everyone of Saif Ali Khan. “When he comes to the sets, it feels like Saif from 20 years ago has stepped in. He is so young and just a true carbon copy of his father.”
Earlier, Sara had confirmed Ibrahim’s debut. She had informed that he had just finished shooting his first film as an actor. The same source also shared that the last leg of the production work is still pending, which is likely to be wrapped up soon this year.
