Imran Khan has opened up about his Bollywood comeback and the inspiration behind his acting.
The actor all set to return to Indian cinema with an upcoming romantic comedy directed by Danish Aslam, which will eventually be released on an OTT platform.
Making his return after a nearly decade-long absence, one burning question remains on everyone’s minds: what inspired his much-anticipated comeback? In a recent episode of Aleena Dissects, the Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na actor gave an unexpected response.
“It’s the universe, actually,” he said.
While Imran admitted he was not a particularly spiritual or religious person, he revealed that he has embraced a new philosophical perspective on life and destiny.
“I have really, increasingly started to believe in the idea that the universe just kind of throws things together, and let’s see what happens,” he explained, likening his return to the public life and the movies to a chemical reaction.
“This has been the universe, time and again, just showing up at my door, knocking on the door, and saying, ‘The bus is going. You want to get on the bus?’ It’s a series of events that just kind of showed up at the right time. I just have to say yes. I just had to answer the door.”
However, this was not Imran Khan’s only revelation in the episode. Sitting down with Aleena, founder and CEO of Social Media Dissect, the beloved actor opened up about the personal and professional journey that has led him to this point. Reflecting on the joy he found in acting, his public persona and unique approach to storytelling, and his favorite on-screen roles that resonate with him till this day, he offered invaluable advice and insights into the world of fame and personal growth.
With almost a decade away from the spotlight, Imran also took the time to reflect on the sweeping changes that have engulfed Indian cinema in our modern world. Balancing humor with observation, the actor gave honest insights about the increasing impact of nostalgia in movies, the balance between OTT and traditional films, and the complicated portrayal of women on screen.
