The film, a modern take on romance and ghosting, is set for release this year.
Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan, began his career as an assistant director for Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023). Now, he is ready to follow in his family’s footsteps and step into acting. He will debut in Karan Johar’s Sarzameen, which also stars Kajol.

Rasha’s dance in the song Uyi Amma has already impressed fans, who eagerly await her full performance in the film. She will also share screen time with Aaman Devgan, son of Ajay Devgn’s brother, marking another exciting debut.
Simar Bhatia, niece of Akshay Kumar, is set for a grand debut in Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan. She will star alongside Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan. The film, based on the life of Param Vir Chakra awardee Arun Khetarpal, promises to be a memorable entry for both young actors.
