In a social media announcement, Johar shared that Saif Ali Khan’s son is ready to enter the cinematic realm, following the legacy of his celebrated parents. On Wednesday, Karan took to his Instagram to post candid images of Ibrahim along with a heartfelt message reflecting on his first encounter with Ibrahim’s mother, Amrita Singh, and father, Saif Ali Khan.

For his caption, the director stated, “I met Amrita, or Dingy as her loved ones affectionately call her, when I was merely 12 years old. She starred in a film for @dharmamovies with my father titled Duniya, and I vividly recall her grace, energy, and command over the camera. However, what stands out most is the delightful Chinese dinner I shared with her and her hairstylist after our initial meeting, followed by a James Bond movie! From the moment we met, she treated me like family, showcasing the essence of her grace, which continues through her and her children!”

He continued, “My first encounter with Saif was at Anand Mahendru’s office, where he struck me as young, suave, charming, and effortlessly charismatic—very much like my initial meeting with Ibrahim. A strong friendship has thrived between our generations, now extending to our children! I’ve known this family for 40 years, collaborating with them in various projects—Duniya with Amrita, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Kurbaan with Saif, and of course, Simmba with Sara Ali Khan, with more to come! I admire this family for their heartfelt nature.”

Johar concluded his post with, “Cinematic talent runs in their blood, their lineage, and their passion. We are paving the way for a fresh wave of talent, one that I eagerly anticipate the world witnessing. So, stay tuned as @iakpataudi makes his way into your hearts and soon… onto the screens!”
