What is the story about?
Imran Khan is embarking on a uniquely different journey as he gears up for his return to acting. The performer, who will soon appear in Adhoore Hum Adhoore Tum,
has expressed his intention to step back into the limelight without the typical support of publicists and managers. Instead, Imran aims to approach this new chapter on his own terms, valuing artistic freedom and a personal rhythm over relentless exposure and crafted narratives. The actor shared his reasons for seeking opportunities independently rather than relying on a manager.
Imran Khan states he prefers to avoid PR or management
Discussing his choice, Imran explained to Hindustan Times why he has opted to distance himself from PR teams and managers this time. “I have experienced a period where I had a PR and manager. Having seen the impact it has on your life, I now prefer to forgo those aspects. I don’t want a manager who will actively seek out roles for me. Their commission is tied to keeping me consistently employed, which might lead them to encourage me to take on projects I’m not interested in. I want to discover my own opportunities.”
Imran Khan also shared his thoughts on how heavily the industry relies on PR, which no longer resonates with him. “Participating in the PR game is a full-time commitment; it requires hours each day collaborating with the PR team, strategizing, and analyzing outcomes. Given how prevalent it is, the public has become aware of it. Now, audiences scrutinize everything—wondering if it’s a PR maneuver or what the underlying motive is. I would prefer to work at my own speed.”
