'I don't believe in luck'
'I don't believe in luck'
He never wanted to be an actor. That's why he had taken up a course in filmmaking. But the success of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na changed all that.
Imran Khan soon became one of the rising stars of Bollywood.
He followed it up with a disaster called Kidnap but hopes to change his luck in his new film. Directed by Soham Shah, Luck also stars Shruti Haasan, Sanjay Dutt, Mithun Chakraborty, Danny Denzongpa, Chitrasi Rawat and Ravi Kissen.
He talks to Patcy N about how he burnt his eyelashes while doing action scenes in the film, and what we should expect from it.
Why did you take up another action film after the flop Kidnap?
I only take up films whose scripts I like. I hear the narration and ask myself if I would buy a ticket to watch this film. I don't decide films based on their genres. It should be a film that I would want to watch as an audience.
What inspired you take up Luck?
I would say the action in the film inspired me. Plus, it is a full on commercial entertainer. This film is made on an unusual concept which we have not seen before -- human betting.
