Debut reflections
Khan reflects on his debut
Khan also reflected on his debut, saying he might have rushed into it. He said, "I was working very hard...like I'm still working hard on my speech issue. But in a way, I feel I must have rushed into that movie." "I was 21 when I began shooting for it...others around me are doing it at 26, 27, 28, and I now think I could have been more mindful of the scale of what was going to happen."
Film's reception
About 'Nadaaniyan'
Nadaaniyan, directed by Shauna Gautam and produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under Dharmatic Entertainment, was released on March 7, 2025. The film featured Khan and Kapoor alongside Mahima Chaudhry, Dia Mirza, Suniel Shetty, and Jugal Hansraj. Despite its star-studded cast, the film failed to impress audiences and critics alike, leading to Kapoor and Khan's trolling.
Future endeavors
On his upcoming film, 'Diler'
Despite the setback, Khan is now looking forward to his upcoming theatrical release, Diler. The sports drama, directed by Kunal Deshmukh, will be his first film in theaters. He said, "I've really sat on the script this time around. Kunal Deshmukh sir, is a really experienced director. He's very good and can present me well."
