Imran Khan is about to make his comeback after a decade. The actor is going to appear in Vir Das‘ directorial debut Happy Patel: Khatarnaak Jasoos, 11 years after his film Katti Batti was released in 2015.
During a recent interview, he discussed his cameo role in the upcoming film as well as the reason for the long break. He noted that he got associated with the project as it was related to a lot of people he knew personally.
In a conversation with NDTV, Imran Khan said, “My part is a cameo that came from a place of FOMO (Fear of missing out). True story—Vir was developing the project. And as he was moving through the stages of development, various friends of mine were getting attached. It started, of course, with my uncle (Aamir Khan) getting attached as a producer. And I would hear little snippets here and there. And then Mithila, who I got to know because we acted together in Katti Batti—we’ve remained friends over the years. And she was telling me a lot of fun stuff about the way the project was going.” He added, “I joined just because all my friends were there and doing something that looked like fun.”
