Imran Hashmi: We want to do quality work, with quality people.

Imran Hashmi admits that when he was 21, he had no idea what direction life would take him. ‘I was very confused. It was a scary place, 'he says, chewing on the past, but when his uncles Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt offered him the film, he immediately accepted. Yet he was not entirely sure where acting would take him and that was the only way he wanted to go. However, despite playing Aftab Shivdasani, Bipasha Basu, Imran Khan and Rahul Dev, he played the role of gangster Raghu. In the 2009 crime thriller and a superhit.

After this he consolidated his place in Bollywood and became a badboy whom everyone fell in love with. After this he chose to go straight to becoming the Raghu of 'Footpath'. However, he was never found guilty in his performance or commitment. I didn't feel like he was flattering in these films. This led to a change in his game-plan.

'Right now, I want to do something new or different from what my viewers want to see from me. This doesn't mean what Imran wants, but he wants to see me as a proud, stubborn young man. This is my USP, "said Imran Hashmi.

He released a film earlier this year in which he played the role of a policeman. Despite the epidemic, the film received a good response in the beginning, but then came another wave of corona and theaters in Maharashtra and Gujarat fell. Now Imran's next film is coming up with Amitabh, in which he becomes an ad-executive who gets trapped in a blizzard and takes shelter in Amitabh Bachchan's house. Who plays a real-life game there. The game is played by a person between the ages of 8 and 20 and his friend, but he himself knows that he is not as innocent as he believes.

The mystery-thriller was supposed to be released in June last year and it was also pushed in theaters later on April 9 this year, but it was also delayed due to Kovid. The trailer of this movie has generated a lot of interest. Imran is confident that the film will come out anytime, but it will go well.

Kovid's second wave struck, leaving a gap of 15 days for the release of the film. After waiting so long we are obviously waiting to come to the theater. But now people are talking about the third wave. Suppose that the film comes on OTT, it will catch the eye of many, I believe. Maybe in the next one or two and a half years, the audience will come to the theater, but it is decided that it will be a hit, 'said Imran.

His Indo-American collaborative film was to be sent to the Busan Film Festival in October 2020.

Now Imran Khan is making his OTT debut through a web series of Shah Rukh Khan productions. Nothing about this web series has moved forward in the pipeline. 'I am in no hurry to sign any projects. I want to do quality work. That's why I'm walking lightly with quality people, whether it's TV, OTT, movies or a song. ' He insisted.

So will it be seen in the songs again? - In response, Imran says, 'If the songs are good, then so be it. I’ve given a lot of chartbuster songs in my career, but that’s not the pressure here. The secret of success is to release it at the right time, 'said Imran Hashmi.
