Imran Khan Recalls Ranbir Kapoor Comparison In Early Days, Reflects On Industry Competition: I Had Never....

Actor Imran Khan, who marked a notable return to the industry, recently shared his perspective on competition and comparisons in Bollywood. The actor emphasised why he has never believed in viewing cinema as a competitive space.

Appearing on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Season 3, produced by Gautam Thakker Films, the conversation touched upon the highly competitive nature of the film industry and the constant comparisons between actors, especially during his earlier stint, including with Ranbir Kapoor.

Responding to this, Imran Khan said, "I had never bought into the notion of creative competition. It again reduces cinema and our art form into some kind of a competitive sport and I don't see that as doing full justice to the films that we make." he further added, "Someone may be emotionally moved by a film, someone may not. That's fine. But measuring it as a metric of numbers, I have never bought into that. I don't really subscribe to that."

With his grounded outlook, Imran Khan's thoughts offer a refreshing take on success and individuality in the film industry, where comparisons and box office numbers often dominate conversations.
