In a now-viral video, Ibrahim is seen exiting the theatre post-screening when a fan with hearing and speech impairments approaches him for a photo. Without missing a beat, the young actor engages in sign language, showing both respect and patience. Their conversation, though brief, is deeply moving — with Ibrahim even encouraging the fan to “go home and sleep” with a warm smile.
The fan then attempts to show Ibrahim his home address on Google Maps, to which Ibrahim patiently responds. He views the map, acknowledges the fan’s excitement, and caps off the interaction with a heartfelt hug before heading to his car. The moment was simple, unscripted, and incredibly human.
What makes the exchange even more meaningful is that Ibrahim himself has previously faced speech-related challenges, bringing another layer of empathy to his response. Directed by Kayoze Irani, Sarzameen marks Ibrahim’s acting debut and also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Kajol. The film, set in Kashmir, tells the gripping story of a father, an army officer, who learns that his estranged son has joined a militant group. Produced by Dharma Productions and Star Studios, Sarzameen is now streaming from July 25.
