Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor Sign Karan Johar Film, To Lead a Classy Bollywood Rom-Com: Report

Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor will be starring together in a Karan Johar produced film, a new report has claimed. Ibrahim, who is rumoured to be making his debut under Karan’s banner with the remake of Hridayam, is said to have said to star in a romcom. The film will be directed by Shauna Gautam, who assisted Karan Johar in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. The film marks his directorial debut.

A source told Pinkvilla that Ibrahim and Khushi have signed the dotted lines and will be filming the project next year. The film is also said to be a direct to digital release. “It’s being planned as a direct-to-digital project to be produced by his digital wing, Dharmatics. The film will go on floors next year and will be directed by Shauna Gautam. The makers are in talks with a leading OTT player for streaming rights,” a source told the outlet.

“It’s one of those romantic comedies that Hindi Cinema is known for. However, Karan and co. feel that the palette of narrative fits better for the OTT than the big screen. It’s planned and will be executed as an OTT original,” they added.

Who is Shauna Gautam?

Set to make his directorial debut, Shauna Gautam has worked as an AD in a few big banner Bollywood films. Earlier this year, he was associated with Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and in 2018, he was part of Ranbir Kapooor starrer Sanju as an AD under the guidance of Raju Hirani.
