Imran Khan to play Bhumi Pednekar's husband in comeback film
What's the story
Imran Khan, who was last seen in a lead role in the 2015 film Katti Batti, is reportedly set to make his comeback with a Netflix project. The actor will be starring opposite Bhumi Pednekar in a film centered on a couple facing marital issues, reported Bollywood Hungama. This marks Khan's return to the screen after nearly a decade-long hiatus from lead roles, although he made a minor appearance earlier this month in Vir Das's Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos.
Career trajectory
Career trajectory: From debuting in 'Jaane Tu...' to 'Katti Batti'
Khan made his acting debut with Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na in 2008, produced by his uncle Aamir Khan. The film was a huge hit among the youth and catapulted him to fame. He then starred in other successful films such as Delhi Belly (2011), but saw a decline in his career afterward. His last lead role was in Katti Batti (2015).
