Overview
- Saif Ali Khan said star children benefit from an "incredibly unfair" ability to get in the door because of their family names.
- He told Ibrahim Ali Khan he will not "stand next to you and hold your hand," arguing his son must establish himself independently.
- Saif said audiences resent repeated opportunities for underperformers and view it as denying chances to outsiders.
- Ibrahim’s debut Nadaaniyan (2025) and follow-up Sarzameen drew criticism, and he is reported to be preparing Diler with director Kunal Deshmukh, with casting reports unconfirmed and an official announcement still awaited.
- Saif’s own slate includes Kartavya, set to release on Netflix, and Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan, which reunites him with Akshay Kumar.
