Imran Khan: “I don’t call up journalists & publicists to write stuff”

Imran Khan will be seen on the big screen once again in the upcoming ‘Katti Batti’, a Nikhil Advani directorial. However, when asked why he seems to keep a low profile, it seems the actor is not afraid to say that he is not into stories being written about him just to keep him in the news.

“My phone is usually off or on silent. I don’t call up journalists and publicists to write stuff or shut up. I’m only interested in making movies. And I discuss the creative process with my director and co-stars,” the actor told Mumbai Mirror in an interview.

He also spoke about returning to the screens after three years, “In 2013, I had three releases, films I’d been working on all year, and I was exhausted. There was a decline in quality too. Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and Delhi Belly had been made with a lot of care and I wanted to function within those parameters again. I’ve never been insecure so not having a release doesn’t bother me. I can’t do two films simultaneously or jump from one project to the next.”

About ‘Katti Batti’, Khan commented, “Katti Batti is a love story, a handmade film, I’ve never felt this degree of pride and confidence before.”

‘Katti Batti’ is slated for release on 18th September and will see Khan share the screen with Kangna Ranaut.
