Imran Khan's full-circle career move

For Imran, beginning his second phase of his career alongside his maternal uncle Aamir Khan is like completing a life cycle. The actor got his start in the industry when he was a child actor in Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and went on to make his full-fledged debut with Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na (2008). Abhinay Deo and Imran collaborated on Delhi Belly (2011), a black comedy that became one of his most famous films.

Following the cancellation of his web series with Abbas Tyrewala, Imran has been picky about his return. Originally, Disney+ Hotstar had cast him as an intelligence officer in the espionage thriller series, set in the shadowy realm of South Asian counterintelligence. Reliance Industries and The Walt Disney Company merged, leading to the shelving of the project Siddharth Roy Kapur was producing.

Imran expressed his relief at the cancellation and stated that he has no interest in playing a character who uses violence to resolve disputes. Danish appears to have finally found the perfect project to return to acting with his romcom, and we are sure his fans can't wait to watch how it turns out.
