This week has been an exciting one for Bollywood enthusiasts, thanks to a string of major announcements from Netflix. Among the biggest highlights? The long-awaited debuts of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan and Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan, both of whom are now stepping into the film industry—just like their superstar fathers.
While Aryan is making his directorial and writing debut with the upcoming web series Stardom, Ibrahim is all set to make his acting debut opposite Khushi Kapoor in Naadanian, produced by Karan Johar.
A new Rohit & Aman?
With Aryan and Ibrahim’s projects now in the spotlight, Bollywood fans couldn’t help but be reminded of SRK and Saif’s iconic pairing as Aman Mathur and Rohit Patel in Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003). A viral Instagram post comparing their latest images with a still of Shah Rukh and Saif from the film has led to a flood of fan theories—many of which suggest the two star kids would be perfect for a remake or sequel.
Comments on social media reflect the excitement, with one user writing, “A Kal Ho Naa Ho remake starring these two would be amazing!” Another added, “They should totally make Kal Ho Naa Ho 2.”
Some fans even had casting ideas ready, with one comment reading, “@karanjohar, this is the duo you must launch!” Meanwhile, another fan suggested adding Raveena Tandon’s daughter, writing, “Cast Rasha Thadani too—make a brand new movie!”
One user had an even more playful suggestion, referencing Preity Zinta, the original Naina: “I wouldn’t mind seeing them fight for @realpz—she still looks so young and beautiful!”
Will Bollywood listen to the fans?
While there’s no official word on a Kal Ho Naa Ho remake, it’s clear that audiences are eager to see Ibrahim and Aryan bring their fathers’ legendary camaraderie to the screen.
