Imran Khan reveals if he is considering Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na sequel for his comeback in Bollywood: “I don’t know what additional emotional growth…”

Actor Imran Khan, nephew of Aamir Khan, who made his debut with Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na catapulted to newer heights with his rom-com era. However, he couldn’t sustain himself in the industry and eventually work wasn’t coming his way. The actor, in recent times, has been making public appearances which has led to speculations that he might make a comeback. Featured on the cover of Vogue India for February 2024, Imran reveals whether he would consider a comeback in the films with the sequel of his debut movie, which also starred Genelia D’souza.

Speaking to the magazine, Imran Khan said, “Jaane Tu was the story of so many people. But for my part, it was the journey of Jai from boyhood to manhood. It is the story of two young people growing up, understanding what they seek in a partner and finding their way to love. It culminates so nicely that I don’t know what additional emotional growth you could have for these characters.”

Sharing an anecdote from the film, he added, “There’s this scene in the beginning where all of us gather for Aditi’s cat’s funeral and when I crouch to give my eulogy, my knee makes this cracking sound. They didn’t edit it out and if you turn up the volume, you can hear it. It’s gotten worse with age. Do yoga, kids.”

Imran Khan appeared in several movies like I Hate Luv Storys opposite Sonam Kapoor, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan opposite Katrina Kaif, Break Ke Baad opposite Deepika Padukone, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan, Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola opposite Anushka Sharma, and Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara, opposite Sonakshi Sinha. His last movie was Katti Batti opposite Kangana Ranaut in 2016.

Aamir Khan liked Laapataa Ladies story and auditioned for Ravi Kishan’s role: Kiran Rao reveals, “He was bringing a star baggage”

The makers of Jio Studios and Aamir Khan Productions’ Laapataa Ladies are all set to treat the audience with a refreshing story on March 1, 2024. Kiran Rao’s directorial received a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2023. As the promotions for the movie are in full swing, the director recently revealed that her ex-husband Aamir Khan has auditioned for the role, which is now being played by Ravi Kishan.

In a conversation with ANI, Kiran Rao said that Aamir Khan liked the story and wanted to be a part of the film. She said, “Aamir loved the character and auditioned for it as well. But I felt that since he is a star, there would be more expectations from the character if he were to essay that role. Aamir was bringing a star baggage to the character. So, we wanted someone so fit for the role that you cannot make out what he does next. Ravi Kishan is amazing  I felt that there could not be a better Manohar than him.”

“In a way, Aamir helped a lot because he supported the idea of having fresh actors so that the viewers are pleasantly surprised and find some new things in the character and what Ravi Kishan brings to it. When you see stars, you understand that this is a hero and that is a villain. However, we had to keep the suspense till the end,” she said.

Laapataa Ladies stars Nitanshi Goel, Pratibha Ranta, Sparsh Shrivastava and Chhaya Kadam. The film revolves around the comedic chaos as two newlywed couples embark on a train journey between small towns. Amidst the celebration, both brides mysteriously vanish, prompting the bewildered grooms to seek help from the police. The attempt to file a missing persons report, featuring Ravi Kishan as the cop, unfolds into a series of uproarious situations.

Presented by Jio Studios, Laapataa Ladies is directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Aamir Khan and Jyoti Deshpande. The film has been made under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions and Kindling Productions, with the script based on an award-winning story by Biplab Goswami. Sneha Desai writes the screenplay & dialogue, while the additional dialogues are by Divyanidhi Sharma. The film is all set for its release on March 1, 2024.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga upset about Javed Akhtar’s criticism against Animal; says he should watch Farhan Akhtar’s Mirzapur: “You feel like puking”

Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Animal, starring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead, received polarising reactions. The film went onto collect over Rs. 800 crore worldwide. The film, released on December 1 in 2023, is still running in theatres and currently streaming on Netflix. In a recent chat, Vanga revealed that he was sad by veteran writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar’s criticism towards the film. He said that he should rather look into Farhan Akhtar’s work.

Speaking in an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Vanga said, “It is very clear that he did not watch the film. It’s very clear in that comment that he did not see the entire film. Now if someone is talking without watching the film, what can I say about them? Obviously, you feel bad because it is very clear that he has not seen the film and not only about him, anybody who is throwing stones on an art piece, why don’t they check their surroundings first?”

He continued, “Why didn’t he tell the same thing to Farhan Akhtar when he was producing Mirzapur. Duniya bhar ke gaali Mirzapur ek show mein hai and I haven’t watched the whole show. When the show was translated to Telugu, if you watch that, then you will feel like puking. Why is he not checking his son’s work?”

Javed Akhtar had criticised a particular scene in the movie where Triptii Dimri’s Zoya is asked to lick the show of Ranbir Kapoor’s Ranvijay. “If there’s a film in which a man asks a woman to lick his shoe or if a man says it’s okay to slap a woman… and the film is a super hit, that’s dangerous,” Akhtar had said.

Animal also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Triptii Dimri, Prem Chopra and Suresh Oberoi among others.
