Imtiaz Ali, known for creating a loyal fanbase with films like Socha Na Tha, Jab We Met, Rockstar, and Tamasha, has seen renewed interest in his work as some of his older films have done well on re-release. Although his recent big-screen projects, Jab Harry Met Sejal and Love Aaj Kal 2, didn’t resonate with audiences, he made a strong comeback with Chamkila on Netflix. Now, sources reveal that Imtiaz has finalised his next directorial venture, with Fahadh Faasil in advanced talks to make his Hindi film debut in the project, according to Pinkvilla.
“Fahadh and Imtiaz have done several meetings over the last few months, and their energies have aligned in the right way. Both of them prefer to work in the right set up, and are set to team up for the first time. Fahadh is also excited to debut in the Hindi space with a director like Imtiaz,” revealed a source close to the development to the entertainment portal.
The source also mentioned that, in line with his previous works, this project will be a love story with a distinctive narrative style. “Imtiaz is making a pure love story and the casting for the female protagonist is underway. He is excited about the subject and feels this is the right time to tell the story. He has gone ahead to pitch the film to Fahadh because he feels that the actor fits the bill and the story calls for his casting,” the source added.
As per the report, Imtiaz Ali’s next film will start shooting in early 2025 and is set for release by the end of that year. He’s finishing up the script and will soon start on the music and pre-production. This upcoming love story will be his 10th feature film. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
