Fahadh Faasil is currently basking in the success of his movie ‘Pushpa 2’ and has received appreciation for his performance as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat IPS. The actor grabbed attention after he was rumoured to work with ace filmmaker Imtiaz Ali but did not comment on the same. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Imtiaz Ali gave some hints about his project with Fahadh but did not disclose the plot.
While talking about the film, Imtiaz said, “This announcement is out, but it’s like a little ahead of its time. There is a movie, but I don’t know, it might not be the next one up. But, yes, I’ve been trying to make this film for a long time. It’s called The Idiot of Istanbul.”
He further confirmed that he would like to make the project with Fahadh. The filmmaker further told The Hollywood Reporter India “I would like it…yeah. I would love to do this. And now, since you’ve cornered me, I don’t know why I’m not supposed to say this. But yes, my plan is to make this film with Fahadh.”
Both Imtiazand Fahadh are yet to officially announce the movie.
