Sara Ali Khan is among the most popular actresses in Bollywood. The daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh also shares a warm bond with her brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan. During a recent conversation, the Metro In Dino actress offered effusive praise to her brother for his ‘inherent swag and confidence. ’
During a recent conversation with Harper’s Bazaar, Sara Ali Khan was asked if she ever goes to her mother, Amrita Singh, and brother Ibrahim Ali Khan for personal and professional advice. In response to this, the actress noted while she has talked about how her mother inspires her many times, she would like to highlight how her brother is also a huge inspiration for her.
Hailing him as “extremely hardworking,” the actress admitted that she loves his “inherent swag and confidence”. According to Sara, her brother is aware of himself and both of them are proud of the fact.
“He maintains a great work-life balance, values the important relationships and prioritizes them. He’s just like a cool, sorted, level-headed guy. He looks at things with a sort of pragmatism that I didn’t have when I was his age. I must also add that there’s an intelligent simplicity with which he views his life,” she said.
The 29-year-old actress confessed that she can and has made things “very complicated” in the past. According to her, she can be “overtly cerebral to a destructive end” as opposed to her brother.
On the professional front, Sara Ali Khan will be next seen in Anurag Basu’s highly-awaited, Metro…In Dino. The sequel to the 2007-released film boasts a promising star cast including Aditya Roy Kapur, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Konkona Sensharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher, and Ali Fazal. The film is poised to release on November 29, 2024, later this year.
Meanwhile, Ibrahim is also soon going to make his acting debut with Karan Johar’s Dharma-backed film, Sarzameen. It is directed by Kayoze Irani and also stars Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran in important roles.
In addition to this, he also has a romantic comedy that will star Khushi Kapoor alongside her. As Pinkvilla exclusively informed you, the film is planned as a direct-to-digital project produced by Dharmatics.

After releasing in the US on September 27 following its Toronto International Film Festival premiere on September 8, The Wild Robot is all set to captivate Indian audiences with its October 18 release. Just a day before the highly anticipated animated sci-fi film’s debut in India, Pinkvilla had the opportunity to sit down with the film’s screenwriter Chris Sanders, who also directed the film. He shared the challenges he faced while adapting the story for the screen from Peter Brown’s book of the same name. Here’s what he said.
Beginning by noting that Brown’s book served as a guidebook and provided structure to his script, Sanders acknowledged that, despite the assistance from Brown’s published work, he felt “a great deal of responsibility” about getting “the core” of Chris Stover’s story right for the screen. Stover, for those who may not know, is the film’s cinematographer, and since this is an animated offering, his vision becomes even more significant.
To present a cinematographer’s story “intact” on the screen, Sanders explained, “it means sometimes you have to trim things back. It’s somebody else’s words initially, so you feel a bit funny doing that, but you have to make room for certain things to resonate, breathe, and really develop.” And so that’s what he did as a writer.
In some cases, though, he said he did the opposite of trimming, and instead, added complications to the plot, as he believed it had more potential. Sanders noted he “didn’t want [the story] to feel like you could see where it was going too far down the road. I wanted more development and surprises.” The screenwriter assured fans that he aimed to both streamline and add complexity to the film’s plotline, but always to preserve the core of Stover’s story for the screen.
Elsewhere in the conversation with Pinkvilla, Sanders praised the film’s powerful star cast and discussed his favorite scene. However, we won’t be sharing that just now with our readers, for fear of spoiling the experience for you.
