Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of actor Saif Ali Khan, has been preparing for his Bollywood debut in Dinesh Vijan's ‘Diler’. Although there were plans to film a significant portion of the movie in London, recent reports indicate that these plans have been scrapped due to escalating tensions in the UK.

The UK has been facing unrest following the stabbing of three girls at a dance class in Southport, which has sparked widespread protests by immigrants. 

As a result, it reports that the London shoot for ‘Diler’ has been cancelled to prioritise safety. The production team is now looking for alternative locations in Mumbai.

“Around the end of July, the team conducted a location scout and look tests in London. Director Kunal Deshmukh had planned a focused shoot schedule to film significant parts of the movie. However, as the situation deteriorated, the producers decided it would be too costly to arrange extensive security. Consequently, they cancelled the London shoot and instructed the team to explore domestic locations. The director aims to start this new phase of filming in the first week of September,” a source said.
