Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor to star in Karan Johar's upcoming rom-com -REPORT

In a strategic move to continue his legacy of launching fresh talent into the Hindi film industry, prolific filmmaker Karan Johar is set to introduce Ibrahim Ali Khan to the big screen. The scion of the iconic Pataudi-Khan lineage is all set to make his debut in a thrilling project set against the backdrop of Kashmir, alongside seasoned actors Kajol and Prithviraj.

However, that's not the only exciting venture in Karan Johar's pipeline. It has been learnt that Karan is now is gearing up to produce a romantic comedy, featuring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor in the lead roles.

According to reports, Karan Johar is conceptualizing a full-fledged romantic comedy with Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor as the charismatic leads. The film, intended to be a direct-to-digital project, will be produced under Karan's digital wing, Dharmatics. Slated to commence filming next year, the rom-com will be directed by Shauna Gautam. 

Discussions are already underway with a leading OTT platform for streaming rights, showcasing Karan Johar's strategic approach to align the film with the growing trend of digital releases.

While the project is yet to receive an official title, the creative minds behind it are reportedly brainstorming several quirky names. Described as a quintessential Bollywood romantic comedy, the narrative is believed to find its perfect fit in the OTT space, signifying a deliberate move away from traditional theatrical releases. 

This venture marks the second film for both Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, following their debuts in "Sarzameen" and "The Archies," respectively. Currently in the pre-production stage, the filmmakers are focused on assembling a credible ensemble cast to complement the budding chemistry between Ibrahim and Khushi.
