Reports say that Fahadh Faasil is thrilled to launch his career in Hindi cinema alongside Imtiaz Ali, one of his favorite Bollywood filmmakers.

Triptii Dimri's reunion with Imtiaz Ali

Although this is Fahadh's debut in Hindi cinema, it will also be a homecoming of sorts for Triptii Dimri. Imtiaz's brother Sajid Ali directed Laila Majnu (2018), marking her full-fledged first feature film. Imtiaz also served as co-writer and presenter.

After performing on his authored material, Imtiaz himself will direct Triptii further enhancing her status as a highly sought-after performer in Bollywood. The actor, who has risen to the top of every filmmaker's list following Animal's massive success, will film Vishal Bhardwaj's gangster thriller starring Shahid Kapoor before joining Imtiaz for his feature. April 2025 will mark the start of production on her comedy-drama starring Madhuri Dixit and Suresh Triveni.

On the other hand, Fahadh has starred in critically acclaimed films such as Maalik Vikram, Aavesham, and Vettaiyan. Pushpa 2: The Rule, the highly anticipated film starring Allu Arjun, also features Fahadh, reprising his beloved role as SP Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat and facing off against Pushpa Raj. With astronomically high box office projections, the film is set to hit theatres this Thursday, December 5, 2024.
