Not many know that Imran Khan had rejected Gori Tere Pyaar Mein four times. “I did not find the initial drafts very entertaining. I always felt that we needed to make a film like I Hate Luv Storys. Finally Puneet Malhotra, the director, requested me to read the fifth draft and said, ‘If you don’t like it this time then we will not do it.’ This time, however, I realised what exactly was on his mind. Therefore I agreed to do the film.”
Imran adds that he missed his I Hate… co-star Sonam Kapoor in GTPM. “Yes, I do miss her. But I cannot ask the director to cast her. Working with Kareena for the second time was a lot of fun.”
About his criteria for choosing films, Imran says, “When I read the script I should feel like buying a ticket and watching the film in the theaters. I feel the promos of any film should ignite that feeling in audiences. A film has to be entertaining enough.”
His last film, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaraa had failed at the box office. Talking about it, he says, “My role was appreciated by everyone. At a certain level we lose control. All we can do is perform our parts well. All our big stars have given flops. But this year has definitely opened up new avenues. My next film is Bhavesh Joshi. It is based on a rebel guy who wants to bring about a change. But yes, I have a rebel inside me,” he adds.
