He may have been born into a filmi family with Aamir Khan for an uncle, but debutant actor Imran Khan is incredibly grounded.

When Imran Khan narrates the story of how he met Abbas Tyrewala, the director of his soon-to-be-released debut Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, it turns out to be quite an interesting story.
Imran wanted to be in the movies, he says, but not to be an actor. “I think I always knew I wanted to be involved in films, because of the close connection that I have with it and how much I enjoy every aspect of it,” he says. “I never really wanted to act, though. The acting bit came very recently, only when I met Abbas. I went to film school in LA and trained to be a writer and director. That was my career plan. I even worked in LA for a while, so I was really setting down that career path, and quite seriously,” he says.Read more...

[B]Is it true that you have always been a fan of science fiction? [/B] Yes, it is. As a child, I was into writing and making short films. One of the first few films I made was along the lines of Star Wars. I used a handycam to shoot a short film about a few friends and me exploring another planet. People at home were very supportive. Mansoor mamu would advise me on the technical aspects of film-making.Read more...
