Actor Ali Fazal, who is currently juggling a tight schedule with Mirzapur: The Movie and Aamir Khan’s production Lahore 1947, is now making headlines for an unexpected new collaboration. Industry sources reveal that Fazal is set to team up with filmmaker Shakun Batra for his next project, sparking buzz across the industry.

The speculation intensified after Ali shared a cryptic Instagram Story reading, “It’s a wrap,” hinting at the completion of a project that had not been publicly announced. According to insiders, the actor has been quietly working on a new film with Batra, the director known for Gehraiyaan and his signature, emotionally layered storytelling.

The upcoming film is said to revolve around the evolving and often chaotic realm of social media—its pressures, contradictions, and its influence on modern identity and relationships.

A source close to the development shared, “Ali has been working on something very exciting. His ‘It’s a wrap’ post has only added fuel to the fire. This collaboration with Shakun Batra goes deep into the impact of social media on personal lives. It’s one of Ali’s most unique projects yet.”
