Abhinay Deo on his experience with Imran Khan<\/p>\n

Deo, who collaborated with Imran on \u2018Delhi Belly\u2019, said he can only speak about the actor based on his own experience of working with him. \u201cThe only thing that I can say with confidence is what I feel about him, and what kind of a person he is, in my opinion, and he is an incredible person, a very, very nice human being, and a fantastically passionate and sensitive man,\u201d he said. The filmmaker made it clear that he would not go beyond what he knows from his own experience of working with Imran. \u201cSo, from that perspective, that\u2019s where my feeling about him would end. Anything more than that, I would be violating his space, is what I think,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Imran Khan detained under Immigration Act<\/p>\n

Based on the information provided, Imran faces action under Sections 29 and 7 of the Immigration Act, over allegations that he took part in a protest despite not being an Indian citizen. Mumbai Police detained him on Saturday while he was protesting. After being detained, the actor posted a picture of himself seemingly sitting inside a police van, with the caption, \u201cApparently I\u2019m going for a drive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Imran Khan to move Bombay High Court<\/p>\n

Khan told the media that he was at the site as a Mumbai resident and not to press any particular demands.

The specific grounds for the challenge are yet to be revealed.<\/p>\n

Abhinay Deo on Imran Khan\u2019s character<\/p>\n

Amid the controversy, Deo kept his comments limited to his own experience of working with Imran and his view of the actor\u2019s character, steering clear of the legal proceedings and the questions around his citizenship. \u201cHe is an incredible person, a very, very nice human being, and a fantastically passionate and sensitive man,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
