Mumbai: Actor Ibrahim Ali Khan appears to be quite busy with back-to-back projects in the pipeline. Following the recent release of 'Sarzameen,' Ibrahim has now begun work on his next film, titled 'Diler.' The actor shared a BTS picture of himself, from what appears to be inside a recording studio, and updated his fans. According to the post, 'Diler' is made under the banner of Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films. It is directed by Kunal Deshmukh, known for his films like 'Jannat,' 'Tum Mile,' and 'Shiddat.' In January this year, the team wrapped the shooting of 'Diler,' which has been filmed in Chandigarh, Mumbai, London and many other locations. Kunal Deshmukh's wife, Sonali Rattan, shared several pictures to mark the film's completion. "Diler shoot wraps. What a ride," she wrote. It includes a happy snap of Ibrahim with his director and another one with both Kunal Deshmukh and Sonali Rattan.

Besides Ibrahim as the main protagonist, the film will reportedly feature South actress Sreeleela in the female lead. Further details about the film's plot or casting have been kept under wraps. On the work front, Ibrahim Ali Khan was recently seen in Kayoze Irani's 'Sarzameen,' also starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol. He portrayed the character of an Army officer's son, who was kidnapped by terrorists and returns home after many years. The film tells the story of Vijay Menon (Prithviraj), who is torn between his roles as a father and a soldier. Kajol is featured as Vijay Menon - the mother who is willing to fight against all odds for her family. Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, and Apoorva Mehta under Dharma Productions, 'Sarzameen' was released on JioHotstar on July 25, 2025.

Radhika Madan supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand: 'Male actors are given that privilege'
As the dialogues continue around the grueling nature of shoot schedules, Radhika Madan has also expressed her displeasure regarding the imbalance of hours between male and female actors in the industry, having appeared in 'Angrezi Medium', 'Pataakha', 'Shiddat', and 'Sarfira'. The topic gained recent attention following Deepika Padukone 's departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit, where she was said to have asked for an eight-hour workday, which prompted renewed discussion around work-life balance and gender inequity within Bollywood. Radhika Madan on eight-hour shoot days The actress told Hindustan Times that she has had both 12-to-14-hour days of shooting and shorter days of eight hours. She believes that the work itself is the same, but working against deadlines allows the team to be more committed and concentrated, therefore, the shoot takes place within that time. She said she has seen films filmed, and released, and even be box office successes, all under these turns of time, and if she had not seen it herself, she would not have believed it to be possible to work and achieve, within working hours. On equality in Bollywood At a recent event, Radhika addressed the ongoing discussion regarding workplace equality in the Bollywood industry. She added that whenever women stand by working conditions equal to their male counterparts, those demands should be treated as commonplace rather than unreasonable claims. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo She affirmed that these kinds of discussions can be collaborative when the respect and understanding are mutual, and she also pointed out that part of the concern comes from the availability of time privileges that some male actors have but not many women. Touching upon her own experience with professional burnout, Madan recalled the toll of working across seven projects in a single year. She shared that the emotional weight of multiple roles affected her deeply, leading to depression and forcing her to seek help. According to her, the industry needs to recognize the reality of burnout and move towards greater equality—without favouring male actors with special treatment. Recalls her marathon shoot days During a recent YouTube vlog with Farah Khan, the actress revisited her debut experience and the grueling schedule that came with it. When Farah remarked that Radhika probably didn't have an eight-hour shift on her first show, Radhika responded that she had endured non-stop shoots lasting 48 to 56 hours. Farah then added her own perspective, noting that she doesn't advocate for the eight-hour work model either, quipping that such relentless effort is what creates something truly valuable—comparing it to how gold is forged through intense pressure.

Radhikka Madan: It's weird that certain male actors get fixed working hours, but female actors don't
Radhikka Madan is the latest celeb voice to join the debate around working hours in the film industry. Having worked on a number of films over the years such as Angrezi Medium, Pataakha, Shiddat and Sarfira, she confesses there's a difference in how male and female actors are able to set a certain working time. Radhikka Madan 'I have worked for 12-14 hours, but I have also seen work be achieved in eight hours for certain actors. Kaam utna hi hota hai, voh unn hours mein hi nikaal lete hain. Project ban bhi jaata hai, movie hit bhi ho jaati hai. I have seen how it works because people then are focused and prepped ki uss din yeh shot lena hai, sirf eight hours hain. If that would not have happened, I would have said maybe itne hours mein kaam nahi ho paata hai,' says the 30-year-old, who will be seen next in Subedaar alongside Anil Kapoor. Also read: Radhika Madan reveals she got Angrezi Medium role after possibly replacing a star kid The discussion began ever since reports trickled in about Deepika Padukone demanding eight working hours for the film Spirit directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The collaboration eventually did not materialise. Ever since, many actors such as Ajay Devgn, Pankaj Tripathi, Rana Daggubati and more have voiced their opinion on the same. Radhika adds, 'If women are speaking out for that balance, and demanding a similar thing, it's not new. If the reasons are understood by both the parties, and respect is there, it can be worked out. It is really weird when certain male actors are given that privilege and women are not.' Burnout, which means both physical and mental exhaustion from doing something for longer hours, is also a reality for actors. Extended working hours contribute to it. Radhika says, 'I have experienced it, a lot of times. A few years ago, I was working in seven projects in a single year. I went into depression, I was really drained and took baggage of all my characters. I had to seek help. Burnout is real, I just want equality in the industry and no special treatment given to certain male actors.'

Radhika Madan Backs Deepika Padukone In 8-Hour Shift Debate: 'Male Actors Are Given That Privilege'
Radhika Madan demands equal working hours for female actors and calls out doubled standards in Bollywood. Radhika Madan is adding her voice to the growing debate over working hours in Bollywood, especially for women. The actress behind Angrezi Medium, Pataakha, Shiddat, and Sarfira says there's a double standard when it comes to how long male and female actors are expected to work, in a chat with Hindustan Times. Ever since Deepika Padukone was ousted from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit due to her requests for an eight-hour workday, it has sparked a debate around work-life balance in Bollywood. 'I have worked for 12‑14 hours, but I have also seen work be achieved in eight hours for certain actors. Kaam utna hi hota hai, woh unn hours mein hi nikaal lete hain. Project ban bhi jaata hai, movie hit bhi ho jaati hai. I have seen how it works because people then are focused and prepped ki uss din yeh shot lena hai, sirf eight hours hain. If that would not have happened, I would have said maybe itne hours mein kaam nahi ho paata hai," the actress shared. Radhika says, 'If women are speaking out for that balance, and demanding a similar thing, it's not new. If the reasons are understood by both the parties, and respect is there, it can be worked out. It is really weird when certain male actors are given that privilege and women are not." Burnout is another concern Radhika addressed. She recalled juggling seven films in a single year: 'I have experienced it, a lot of times. A few years ago, I was working in seven projects in a single year. I went into depression, I was really drained and took baggage of all my characters. I had to seek help. Burnout is real, I just want equality in the industry and no special treatment given to certain male actors." In one of her recent YouTube vlogs, Farah Khan visited Radhikka Madan and asked her about her first show. Farah said, 'You didn't have an 8-hour shift, I am guessing?", Radhikka replied, '56 hours non-stop or 48 hours non-stop." At this point, Farah hinted that even she does not support an 8-hour work shift and shared, 'Aise tapke hi toh sona banta hai (this is how gold is made)." Celebs like Vikrant Massey, Rashmika Mandanna, and Anurag Basu have earlier weighed in on the subject.

Radhikka Madan reveals she wanted to be a dancer, wished to introduce tap dancing in India
Actress Radhikka Madan hosted filmmaker Farah Khan at her Mumbai home for the director's vlog. During a heart-to-heart, the 'Angrezi Medium' actress revealed she wanted to become a professional dancer. Radhikka was heard saying, 'I am trained in Jazz, I am trained in ballet, I am trained in Modern dance. I wanted to introduce tap dancing in India. The way you feel on stage- you don't see anybody.' The 'Shiddat' star further recalled how she bagged her first television serial, 'Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi'. She revealed that a casting person sent her a direct message for an audition in Delhi. 'The audition was taking place at a rather shady location, and at that time, I used to watch a lot of 'Crime Patrol'. So, I went with two of my friends, carrying hockey sticks. In Delhi, getting into a scuffle is not very uncommon,' Radhikka shared. 'I told my friends that I'll go in first, and you follow me from behind — and the next day, we'll be all over the front page of the newspaper. But when I entered, I realised there was an actual audition going on for a television show. I got all awkward and was about to leave, but they called my name'. To her surprise, Radhikka stated that she felt extremely safe in front of the camera - something similar to what she felt when she was on the stage. She added that she learned all about acting only during the course of 'Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi'. Radhikka shared the screen with Shakti Arora in the serial, which ran successfully from 2014 to 2016 and became one of the highest TRP-rated shows on Colors. After establishing herself as a popular name in the television industry, Radhikka slowly moved towards films and became a part of projects such as 'Shiddat' and 'Angrezi Medium'. Up next, she will be seen alongside Anil Kapoor in Suresh Triveni's 'Subedaar'.
