Discussions were underway regarding a film featuring Fahadh Faasil titled The Idiots Of Istanbul, alongside a Netflix series starring Arjun Rampal and Aditi Rao Hydari. However, it has now come to light that prior to these endeavors, the filmmaker is crafting a period romance featuring a remarkable cast that includes Diljit Dosanjh, Naseeruddin Shah, and Vedang Raina. Notably, he has also identified his leading lady.

Sharvari In Imtiaz Ali’s Next?

Recent reports indicate that Imtiaz Ali has been engaged in developing multiple projects simultaneously, a departure from his usual practice. As he embarks on this new phase, he has chosen to collaborate once again with Diljit Dosanjh for a period love story. There have been whispers regarding Imtiaz's search for a leading lady, with speculation suggesting that three actresses might be cast, mirroring the number of male leads. According to the latest information, Ali has secured one of his leading women in Sharvari, known for her role in Munjya.

As reported by Pinkvilla, Sharvari is set to star in Imtiaz Ali’s forthcoming film, where she will be paired with Vedang Raina. Sources close to the project reveal that “Imtiaz sought a talented actress and believes Sharvari is the ideal choice for the role. The industry perceives Sharvari as a rising star from her generation, and she has fulfilled Imtiaz Ali's aspiration to be part of his next directorial venture. The untitled period love story is scheduled to commence filming in April.”

The narrative encompasses various character developments, with Sharvari sharing the screen with Vedang in this emotionally resonant romantic film. This project presents a unique perspective on romance, distinct from Imtiaz Ali's previous works, and pre-production activities are already underway, according to the source.

In addition, Imtiaz Ali is set to direct "Idiots Of Istanbul," which marks the Bollywood debut of Malayalam superstar Fahadh Faasil, who will be paired with Triptii Dimri. Furthermore, the upcoming Netflix series features Arjun Rampal and Aditi Rao Hydari, centering on a story involving an extramarital affair.
