Actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, is set to debut with director Kayoze Irani’s Sarzameen along with actors Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Before his first film’s release, Ibrahim has already started working on his next project — a sports drama, titled Diler.

A source close to the production tells us, “He shot for the film in Chandigarh for around 10 days. Kunal Deshmukh has directed him in the sports drama, which is based on a marathon player and the next schedule will be held in Himachal Pradesh.”

Going on to clarify that the film is “not a biopic” on a sports personality, the source adds, “It’s a fictional story about an athlete who doesn’t take his talent seriously, until life makes him realize that he has taken things for granted.”

During the shoot, Ibrahim wasn’t joined by any big names, “as it was a demo to understand how things would be between the director and the actors”.

The source goes on to say, “Ibrahim’s performance looks very promising. There is stark resemblance with Saif in terms of his acting, mannerism and expressions.”
