Ibrahim Ali Khan’s sports drama Diler to follow original plan to shoot in London as unrest subsides? Here’s what we know

by

As a lifestyle expert with a rich background in cinema, I appreciate the relentless pursuit of authenticity that filmmakers like Kunal Deshmukh embody. The saga of Diler, starring the promising Ibrahim Ali Khan, is a testament to this commitment. The production faced unforeseen challenges when London’s riots forced them to abandon their initial plan. However, the resilience and adaptability shown by the team are commendable.

Film directors, including Kunal Deshmukh, emphasize the importance of authenticity. He is directing the sports drama film “Diler” starring Ibrahim Ali Khan, which initially had a production delay when its London schedule was canceled due to city riots in the UK. With the city now peaceful again, the producers are eager to resume their original plans for filming.

According to a report I read in Mid-day, it was planned for Diler’s crucial scenes to be filmed in London next August. However, as anti-immigration protests erupted and the situation became increasingly unsettling, the film’s producer, Dinesh Vijan, decided to prioritize our team’s safety above all else and called off the shoot. As a diehard fan, I can only imagine how disappointing this must have been for everyone involved!

Initially, the production team opted to replicate certain areas of London within Mumbai for filming purposes. However, they found it challenging to achieve an authentic feel. Now that conditions in London have become safer for filming, the production team plans to resume shooting there starting next month.

According to the source, “Diler focuses on the life of a long-distance runner, and London plays a significant role in the plot, featuring a key marathon scene for which they wanted footage of the city. After scouting Mumbai, the creators were not satisfied and did not want to sacrifice their vision.

The setup for filming in London is proceeding smoothly, as the crew has already started their preparations in England. Assuming everything goes as planned, production will continue uninterrupted for an entire month, from now until Diwali at the end of the month. Some additional scenes requiring minor adjustments will be scheduled for filming in the following months.

In terms of his professional life, Ibrahim Ali Khan is all set to launch his much-awaited acting career in Bollywood, sharing the screen with Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the film titled Sarzameen.
