Imtiaz Ali's upcoming project, Idiots of Istanbul, has created a buzz with its quirky title and romantic comedy genre. Although the film has not been officially confirmed yet, reports indicate that it will feature Fahadh Faasil and Triptii Dimri in lead roles, adding excitement to fans of both actors.

There has been much speculation around Fahadh Faasil making his Bollywood debut with this film, which is set to be a Netflix original. Fahadh, known for his brilliant performances in Malayalam films and recent successes like Pushpa 2 and Aavesham, is reportedly in final discussions with Imtiaz Ali for this project.

A source close to the project toldmedia platforms, “The title, Idiots of Istanbul, is quite fitting because Imtiaz Ali is shifting from his usual intense romance to a more light-hearted romantic comedy.

Fahadh Faasil, known for his exceptional talent, is the perfect choice for one of the lead roles, and he’s eager to join Imtiaz Ali for this new adventure."

The film is expected to start shooting in early 2025, with a tight schedule of three months. Pre-production work is already underway, with Imtiaz Ali busy finalizing the script and scouting locations. Fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation, and the growing buzz around Idiots of Istanbul has only fueled their excitement for what is expected to be a fresh and engaging film.

On the professional front, Fahadh Faasil is currently seen in Pushpa 2, alongside Allu Arjun. Meanwhile, Triptii Dimri's latest film was Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, where she starred with Rajkummar Rao. She also has an exciting lineup ahead, including a film by Vishal Bhardwaj with Shahid Kapoor.

According to reports, Fahadh Faasil’s Bollywood debut in this Imtiaz Ali directorial has been in the works for several months.
