Fahadh Faasil And Triptii Dimri To Star In Imtiaz Ali's Quirky Netflix Rom-Com Idiots Of Istanbul

Fahadh Faasil, fresh off the blockbuster success of Pushpa 2: The Rule, is gearing up for his Bollywood debut alongside Animal star Triptii Dimri in Imtiaz Ali’s Netflix film Idiots of Istanbul. Known for his intense romances, Imtiaz Ali is taking a refreshing detour into the world of slice-of-life romantic comedies, and the buzz around this project is palpable.  

The film, set to begin production in early 2025, promises a unique narrative following two central characters on a transformative journey through Istanbul, Turkey. The quirky title, Idiots of Istanbul, reflects the film’s lighter, more playful tone, a marked departure from Imtiaz Ali’s previous work. Fahadh, celebrated for his nuanced performances in Malayalam cinema, expressed excitement about collaborating with Imtiaz and exploring a genre that celebrates everyday humor and relationships.  

For Triptii Dimri, this project adds another feather to her cap after her well-received performances in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Animal. Her pairing with Fahadh brings fresh energy to the screen, and fans are eager to see their chemistry unfold in this offbeat romantic comedy.  

Behind the scenes, the film is already making waves. Imtiaz Ali, who recently delivered the acclaimed Amar Singh Chamkila, has completed the pre-production phase, including a detailed recce of European locations. The script is in its final stages, with promises of a visually rich and emotionally engaging story. Shooting will span across Europe and India, capturing the essence of the characters’ journey.  

Fahadh’s Bollywood debut has been highly anticipated, especially after his standout role as Bhanwar Singh Shekhawat in Pushpa 2, which has become a box-office sensation. Meanwhile, Triptii’s growing filmography and knack for portraying relatable yet complex characters make her a perfect fit for Imtiaz’s storytelling.  

As fans await the official announcement, the excitement surrounding Idiots of Istanbul continues to grow. With its intriguing title, promising cast, and Imtiaz Ali at the helm, the film is shaping up to be a refreshing cinematic experience. Prepare for a delightful blend of humor, heart, and the charm of Istanbul when this romantic comedy debuts on Netflix.
