New Delhi:

Pakistani actor Imran Abbas, popularly identified for his performances in Bollywood movies Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Creature 3D, not too long ago opened up about turning down a number of superhit Bollywood movies like Aashiqui, PK, and Ram Leela. Throughout his look on the present Shan-e-Suhoor, the actor stated, “Profession-wise most important peeche mud ke dekhta hun, Aashiqui (2) jaise movie chodh di, sab kehte hai, ‘Aashiqui chodh di, itni badi movie, aree Ram Leela tumne keh diya ki unko.’ PK mein ho Sarfaraz wala position tha, Heeramandi jo abhi inki movie aa rahi hai Sanjay Leela Bhansali ki, wo toh maine mana nahi ki thi, shelf ho gayi thi. Guzaarish ek movie thi. [In terms of my career, I look back and see that I left behind a film like Aashiqui; everyone says, ‘You left Aashiqui, such a big film, and also Ram Leela.’ In PK, I was offered the role of Sarfaraz. Heeramandi, which is Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film, I didn’t reject that; it was shelved. Guzaarish was one film.]”

Speaking about saying no to a giant undertaking like Aashiqui 2, Imran Abbas expressed, “Aashiqui sabse bada undertaking tha. Ab toh har koi keh raha hota hai ki mujhe bhi Aashiqui provide huyi, aap Mahesh Bhatt se jake pooch lijiye that the one official provide made by that director, Mohit Suri and the producer, wo sirf mujhe hello unhone ki thi. [Aashiqui was the biggest project. Now everyone claims that they were offered Aashiqui, but you should go and ask Mahesh Bhatt. The only official offer made by the director, Mohit Suri, and the producer, was only made to me.]” 

He continued, “Lekin log mujhe ehsaas dilane ki kosish karte hai ki ye kya kar diya, wo toh itni badi movie thi aur kaunsi movie kar ke aa gaye, wo itni hit nahi huyi. Bhai please aap mujhe depress karne ki koshish na karein, most important nahi hounga. [However, people try to make me feel like I made a mistake, that it was such a big film, and the film I did instead, didn’t become such a big hit. Brother, please don’t try to depress me; I won’t let that happen.]”

Imran Abbas’s final Indian undertaking was the Punjabi movie Jee Ve Sohneya Jee. The movie featured Simi Chahal as the feminine lead.
