Ibrahim Ali Khan Stood In for Ranveer Singh On Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Set, Landed His Debut
Last Updated: Kayoze Irani shares how Ibrahim Ali Khan, who once stood in for Ranveer Singh on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, was chosen and trained for his debut in Sarzameen. Kayoze Irani, best known for his memorable role as Sudo in Student of the Year, has recently stepped behind the camera as a director with his film Sarzameen. The movie, featuring Kajol, Prithviraj Sukumaran, and Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh's son Ibrahim Ali Khan, has sparked mixed reactions since its release on JioHotstar. In a revealing chat with SCREEN, Irani explains how Ibrahim was chosen for the film and the unique process behind his preparation. He recalled, 'With Ibrahim, I was on the set of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023). Ibrahim was an AD (Assistant Director). He was filling in for Ranveer Singh as they were setting up the shot." He added, 'Karan sir and I both were sitting behind the monitor and we felt he's got a face for the camera. So we decided to launch him. We did an audition, readings, and a six-month workshop by Atul Mongia with him. That's how we brought him onboard." Ibrahim's training went beyond the typical acting classes. 'The first thing Ibrahim did was he went for an army boot camp. He spent about a week in the jungle, where there was no cell phone or network. If he had to contact someone, he had to cycle to the nearby post office and post a letter. Then I started talking to him about his life and journey," he said. Closer to filming, Kayoze brought Ibrahim to Atul Mongia, who is known for helping actors explore their 'inner world' to bring out authentic performances. 'AIbrahim did a great job doing that. I also did a few test shoots with him because I wanted to see how it'd affect him to shoot against the backdrop with lights. Our first day of shoot with him was in Manali, the dining table scene with Prithvi sir and Kajol ma'am", he added. News18 Showsha gave the film two stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'Ibrahim Ali Khan is better than he was in Nadaaniyan, but he's still rough around the edges. There are scenes where he gets it right – especially in the action bits and shots when he leans into that quiet, brooding vibe that don't ask for much. He shows a bit of vulnerability too, and that helps. But when the role asks for real emotional depth, it feels one-note. Mihir Ahuja does well in a short but impactful role."
