Actor Imran Khan recently expressed his thoughts on the competitive atmosphere in Bollywood, stating that he has never viewed cinema as a competitive sport. During an interview on 'The Right Angle' with Sonal Kalra, he highlighted how comparisons among actors, particularly during his earlier career alongside Ranbir Kapoor, detract from the artistic value of films. Khan noted, “I had never bought into the notion of creative competition,” emphasizing that cinema should not be measured solely by box office numbers. He also shared insights into his comeback, which was sparked by online memes expressing nostalgia for his romantic comedies. Khan made a cameo in the film 'Happy Patel', directed by Vir Das, and is set to return fully in the film 'Adhoore Hum Adhoore Tum', directed by Danish Aslam, which also stars Bhumi Pednekar.
