Filmmaker Karan Johar took to social media on Wednesday to announce the debut of Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan Pataudi. Sharing pictures of Ibrahim from a photoshoot, Karan penned a long note reminiscing about his bond with his parents Saif and Amrita Singh and how he knows the family for “40 years.”
Karan wrote about her connection with Amrita and how he met her on the sets of his father Yash Johar’s production Duniya (1984). “I met Amrita or Dingy, how the loved ones like to call her…when I was just 12 years old. She did a film for @dharmamovies with my father called Duniya, and I remember so vividly the grace, the energy & the commandment over the camera she had. BUT, what I remember the most is the warmest chinese dinner with her and her hairstylist of the time after our first meeting, followed by a James Bond movie! She treated me like her own the second we met and that was the power of her grace…which lives on through her and her children too!”
Talking about meeting Saif for the first time, Karan shared, “With Saif, it was in Anand Mahendru’s office where I first met him. Young, suave, charming & effortless…VERY much like the first time I met Ibrahim. And a strong friendship that continues from our generation to luckily our kids!!!”
“I know this family for 40 years. Worked with them in different capacities - Duniya and the wonderful 2 States with Amrita, Kal Ho Naa Ho to Kurbaan with Saif and of course, Simmba with Sara followed by many more (to come!!) I know this family for the heart they have. Films are in their blood, their genes and their passion. We make way for a new wave of talent, one that I cannot wait for the world to see. So, stay tuned as @iakpataudi makes his way into your hearts and soon…onto the screens!” Karan concluded the post.
As per reports, Ibrahim’s debut film would be Sarzameen, a Dharma Production which will also star Kajol and will be directed by Boman Irani’s son Kayoze Irani.
