Overview

  • Aamir Khan told Indian Express and SCREEN that Imran Khan struggled in Hindi films because he’s not comfortable with traditional “herogiri” and prefers playing real characters.
  • Imran debuted as a lead actor in 2008 with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na alongside Genelia D’Souza, earning widespread recognition and a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.
  • Following a string of underperforming films after 2008, Imran stepped away from acting in 2015 after Katti Batti and has remained offscreen since.
  • A planned spy series by Abbas Tyrewala for Disney+ Hotstar, which Imran was attached to, was shelved before production began.
  • He is reportedly set to co-star with Bhumi Pednekar in Danish Aslam’s upcoming Netflix film Adhure Hum Adhure Tum, marking his first screen appearance in ten years.
