The actor says the timing couldn&#8217;t have been more perfect because he&#8217;s reuniting with the same director, Danish Aslam. He says, &#8220;The movie is just like what the team of Break Ke Baad would be doing 15 years later in life. It&#8217;s a natural progression. Danish and I now have collective life experience. He&#8217;s been married, I&#8217;ve been through a divorce. It&#8217;s just the film we should make 15 years later. This is very much a personal project that came from the creative urge of wanting to tell a story and working with drar friends. The shoot is complete and it&#8217;s in post production. We are looking at releasing it once the streaming platform decides on the date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>     <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1000165674_1763225092978_1763225101662_1763225381149.jpg\" alt=\"Imran Khan \" title=\"Imran Khan \"\/>   Imran Khan    <\/p>\n<p>Speaking about how Bhumi Pednekkar came on board he says, &#8220;It was a co creative decision, we all agreed on her and what she would bring to the film, we were pretty upfront about it. She brought a good vibe to the set and it was the same with Gurfateh (Pirzada) Infact this is the happiest set I&#8217;ve ever been on.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The actor goes on to share how he had initially rejected Break Ke Baad, but a party changed all that. He recalls, &#8220;I was shooting for I Hate Luv Storys (2010) when Danish came in for a narration of Break Ke Baad. He hates narrations and I don&#8217;t do well listening to narrations so I said &#8216;no thanks&#8217; and left. Later I met him at a party and we hit it off well, half way through the conversation I realised it&#8217;s the same guy whose script I had turned down. That&#8217;s when he sent me a draft to read and it clicked with me. We were shooting the film a couple of months later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/1761729009_601_story_trending@2x.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"\/>                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated on: Nov 15, 2025 10:20 pm IST Imran Khan returns to acting after a decade, celebrates 15&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":137252,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93622,5527,156,93621,409,111,139,69,478],"class_list":["post-137251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bhumi-pednekkar","tag-bollywood","tag-entertainment","tag-imran-khan","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-trending"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137251"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137251\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137252"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
