In the best-known image, Ibrahim sits behind a desk and stylishly holds a cigarette. Ibrahim’s fictional portrayals are based on the handful of photographs of him available in the public domain. S Hussain Zaidi’s book Dongri to Dubai, a sprawling history of the Mumbai underworld in which Ibrahim is the central figure, is being adapted into a web series. The web series Ek Thi Begum is about a woman who plots to kill a crime lord modelled on Ibrahim. A few films focus on Ibrahim’s role in the bomb blasts.Īmong the Bollywood productions with characters directly or indirectly inspired by Ibrahim are Black Friday, Company, Shootout At Wadala, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, D-Day and Haseena Parkar. Others recreate his fratricidal war with former associate Chhota Rajan. Some movies chart his meteoric rise from modest beginnings to superstar status in the underworld. Nearly every documented aspect of Ibrahim’s life in Mumbai and beyond has inspired films and, of late, web series. Not surprisingly, he continues to haunt the lanes and localities of Mumbai where yarns about crime and punishment are spun. The blasts on March 12, 1993, which claimed over 300 lives, promoted Ibrahim from hoodlum to terrorist. Ibrahim is accused of providing logistical support to the Memons and their handlers, the Pakistani spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence. On June 26, Ibrahim was mentioned in passing along with reports of the death of Yusuf Memon, one of the Memon brothers who orchestrated the devastating serial bomb blasts in Mumbai in 1993. In early June, claims circulated that he had died of Covid-19, but the reports were debunked. The 64-year-old gangster, who is alleged to be living in Karachi, is frequently in the headlines.
