In this exclusive conversation with Anupama Chopra, we see Imran Khan give his first interview, post his sabbatical. He talks about what these years were like, and how he put the focus on himself and his mental health. He delves deep into the reasons that led him to quitting the industry 9 years ago, and all that makes him want to still tell stories, from and to the heart. He shares his experiences of being overtly self-sufficient, and what kind of scripts he’s looking at now, in order to make a comeback on the big screen.
