Speculation suggests Fahadh Faasil will debut in Bollywood with this Netflix original. Fahadh, who excelled in Malayalam films and Pan-India hits like Pushpa 2: The Rule and Aavesham, is reportedly in talks with Imtiaz Ali.
A source told Pinkvilla, “Imtiaz Ali is switching from intense romance to a slice-of-life romantic comedy, hence the quirky title. Idiots of Istanbul fits the story because the two main characters travel to Turkey’s largest city. The character trait also warrants casting a talent like Fahadh Faasil, who is excited to work with Imtiaz Ali and team.
Initial production is scheduled for early 2025, with a three-month shoot. Imtiaz Ali is reportedly fine-tuning the script while location scouting for pre-production. While fans await official confirmation, Idiots of Istanbul hype only builds anticipation for Imtiaz Ali’s next project.
Fahadh appears in Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 professionally. Rajkummar Rao co-starred in Triptii’s last film, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. A Vishal Bhardwaj film starring Shahid Kapoor is among her exciting projects.
