Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, is set to make his acting debut in Karan Johar’s upcoming Netflix film, Nadaaniyan, alongside Khushi Kapoor, daughter of the late Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor. While this marks Khan’s first acting role, Kapoor has previously appeared in projects like The Archies and Loveyapa.
The announcement has sparked criticism online, with many expressing disappointment over Kapoor’s casting due to perceived inadequate acting skills. Critics also highlight Bollywood’s ongoing nepotism issue, noting that both leads come from prominent film industry families. Some argue that casting decisions favor celebrity offspring over more talented actors.
Additionally, the choice to release the film on Netflix, rather than in theaters, has led to speculation that the filmmakers lack confidence in the movie’s success. Some suggest that an OTT release indicates uncertainty about the film’s reception and the lead actors’ performances.
Despite the mixed reactions, there is anticipation surrounding Khan’s debut, with audiences eager to see how he performs in his inaugural role.
