Addressing the press at the festival, Ali said, "I want to work with Fahadh Faasil.
We tried to do one film together but the project did not materialise.
We are in touch with each other, and I think that, 'dono taraf hai aag barabar lagi hui'.
At some point of time, I will have the pleasure of working with Fahadh."
He shared, "It might not be my next film, but yes, I have been trying to make this film for a long time.

During an earlier roundtable with The Hollywood Reporter India, Ali had announced this collaboration with the actor, sharing then that while the film would not be his immediate next project, it was a film he had hoped to make for some time. He shared, "It might not be my next film, but yes, I have been trying to make this film for a long time. It is called The Idiot of Istanbul."
