Karan Johar enlists Kajol for Ibrahim Ali Khan's Bollywood debut, 'Sarzameen'

Film sees Indian cinema's legendary star in a key role

In a much-anticipated entry into the glitzy world of Bollywood, Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of the illustrious Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, is all set to make his mark with a splashy debut under the prestigious banner of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The young Khan's inaugural cinematic venture titled Sarzameen has been generating immense excitement, reports Hindustan Times.

The buzz around Ibrahim's debut has been steadily building, with insiders divulging exclusive details about this exciting cinematic venture. Directed by Kayoze Irani, the son of the accomplished actor Boman Irani, Sarzameen is already generating fervent anticipation within the industry and amongst fans. 

While the intricacies of the plot remain shrouded in secrecy, one key revelation has stirred the excitement further: the esteemed actor Kajol, a close friend of Karan's, has been roped in to play a pivotal role in the film. Interestingly, the movie will not feature a female lead opposite Ibrahim; however, sources have indicated that Kajol's character will hold substantial significance in the narrative.

Describing Ibrahim's persona, an exclusive source shared with Hindustan Times, "He is very warm, 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.”

Ibrahim's sister and fellow actor, Sara Ali Khan, had previously confirmed his impending debut, revealing that he had recently wrapped up shooting for his inaugural film. As per insiders, the final stages of production are currently underway and are expected to conclude later this year. Although the official release date is yet to be announced by the makers, Ibrahim has already etched his presence as a much-adored figure in the industry. His social media popularity is on a meteoric rise, and he has also found favour with the paparazzi, becoming a favourite subject of their lenses.

Away from the spotlight, Ibrahim shares close bonds with industry peers including Palak Tiwari, Khushi Kapoor, Mahika Rampal, and Nysa Devgn, among others. Notably, he has maintained a private Instagram account, allowing glimpses into his life to only a select few. However, as his eagerly awaited film debut draws nearer, speculations are rife that Ibrahim might soon embrace a more public presence on social media, possibly coinciding with the release of his maiden cinematic venture.
