However, the actor didn't stop there. Imran peeled back the curtain on the less glamorous aspects of filmmaking. He revealed a common practice among senior actors who typically avoid lingering around the set when they're not in front of the camera. Instead, they rely on stand-ins and assistant directors for cues during off-camera moments. Yet, what truly made this particular day memorable for Imran was the unexpected gesture of his co-star, Boman Irani. He knocked on Imran's van door, offering to rehearse the scene together. Imran Khan couldn't contain his thrill at the prospect of rehearsing with such a seasoned actor.
During their rehearsal, Boman went above and beyond, meticulously guiding Imran through the entire scene. He pointed out the layers of subtext, pushed Imran to explore deeper emotions, encouraged him, and provided unwavering support. When it was time to shoot Imran's parts for the scene, Boman didn't simply disappear from the set, as one might expect. Instead, he stood behind the camera, feeding Imran his cues with a level of passion and commitment that he has never experienced before,
Imran Khan acknowledged that while Boman played a callous and insensitive character in the film, he was one of the most generous actors he has ever had the pleasure to work with. This acknowledgment of Boman's support and mentorship is a testament to the camaraderie that often exists among actors in the film industry.
As fans eagerly await Imran Khan's much-anticipated comeback to Bollywood, his recent posts have given the right amount of a nostalgic shot to his fans and more.
