Saif continued to state potential types of films Ibrahim could act in. He added:
“He should probably do something like Salaam Namaste (2005), Hum Tum (2004) or something in that kind of space. I suppose maybe Omkara (2006) or Parineeta (2005) too.
When asked about Ibrahim’s possible debut film, he said:
“I am not sure about the kind of film he should debut with. Maybe something like Race (2008) or a rom-com. I don’t know, I can’t think.”
Ibrahim shares a close relationship with his father and looks to him for guidance. He stated:
“There are scenarios where people, whether it’s an old relative, my mother or a family friend tell me, ‘Oh my god, you’re just like him (Saif) and he does that too!’
“I guess maybe we are similar but I wouldn’t know that. But regardless, he is special to me.
“He is also my guide when it comes to man-to-man conversations.”
Meanwhile, Saif has proved his versatility as an actor. He has appeared in different genre films such as portraying a comic role in Dil Chahta Hai (2001) to a villain in Omkara (2006).
