Never been drawn to heroic characters: Imran Khan


(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) "I've never been drawn to heroic characters. Such characters don't appeal to me and I don't find them interesting," Imran said. "I always feel that your film has to be grounded in reality for it to be relatable and for letting people invest in it, because if it's entirely a fairytale world, then at some point, it lacks gravitas. It lacks an emotional resonance," the 32-year-old added.

Imran feels that film scripts should be grounded in reality. "Whatever genre of film you are making, it has to be rooted in reality. You have to feel like 'this could happen to me in reality'. When you watch Bollywood's over-the-top masala films, nobody ever feels 'I can go through the same thing'. I'm always drawn towards films where I want people to watch my film and feel like and feel like this could be their story." The actor, who is the nephew of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, says he never pays attention to those who compare him with the PK star.

On comparisons, Imran said: "I don't pay attention to those people. I don't get annoyed with them because if anything that anyone will say will help me and will contribute in some way, then I'm happy to listen. Otherwise, I'm not interested. I've never really discussed my work with Aamir. In my family, we value honesty and excellence. We hold each other to a very high standard. It's not about being from a 'filmy' family, it's being from my family. My family expects a lot of each other."
