Imran Khan returns to spotlight with a new film; says, 'This is very much a personal project'

Imran Khan, who stepped away from Bollywood nearly a decade ago, is finally set to return, and his comeback project has already stirred a wave of excitement among fans.

After years of speculation, the actor has confirmed that his new film marks a reunion with Break Ke Baad (2010) director Danish Aslam. There were rumours that the duo might be working on a sequel to the much-loved romantic comedy starring Deepika Padukone.

While Imran has refrained from calling it a sequel, he admitted that the new film carries the emotional and creative continuity of what the Break Ke Baad team would naturally attempt “15 years later.”

Speaking to Hindustan Times, he shared, “The movie is just like what the team of Break Ke Baad would be doing 15 years later in life. It's a natural progression. Danish and I now have collective life experience. He's been married, I've been through a divorce. It's just the film we should make 15 years later. This is very much a personal project that came from the creative urge of wanting to tell a story and working with dear friends. The shoot is complete and it's in post production. We are looking at releasing it once the streaming platform decides on the date.”
