During a chat with Indian Express, Aamir Khan noted that Imran “wants to be an actor, not a star” and that he is not “comfortable with herogiri”. Aamir shared, “Yes, Imran has a certain creative instinct. He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct we have. That’s not his natural space. Which is why he’d do really well in a film like Jaane Tu and Delhi Belly (2011). He’s in his element there.”

“But the moment you put him into a regular Hindi film, he won’t fit. He’s not comfortable with herogiri. He wants to play a real person. Everybody was offering him mainstream films because he’s good-looking. But he wants to be an actor, and not a star,” he added.
