Acknowledged for his exceptional performances in Malayalam cinema and recent Pan-India hits like Pushpa 2: The Rule and Aavesham, Fahadh is said to be in advanced talks with Imtiaz Ali.
 
A source close to the development says that it is a quirky title, as Imtiaz Ali is switching genre from intense romance to a slice-of-life romantic comedy. 

The story needs a title like Idiots of Istanbul, as the two key characters are on a journey to the largest city of Turkey. The character trait also warrants the casting of a powerhouse of talent like Fahadh Faasil, and the actor is also excited to embark on a ride with Imtiaz Ali and team.”
 
The project begins its production in early 2025, with a tight three-month shooting schedule.
Pre-production work has already started, and Imtiaz Ali is reportedly fine-tuning the script while completing location scouting.

While fans eagerly await official confirmation, the buzz surrounding Idiots of Istanbul only adds to the anticipation for Imtiaz Ali’s next creative venture.
