Ibrahim Ali Khan, who recently made his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Nadaaniyan,’ has openly admitted that the movie was a “really bad film.” In a candid conversation with Esquire India, Ibrahim shared that he and the film faced relentless trolling. He humorously added that if he were to deliver a blockbuster in the future, he would hope for a similarly passionate response from the audience, suggesting they should go wild over his success.
Reflecting on the anticipation surrounding his debut, the son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh recalled the initial excitement for ‘Nadaaniyan.’ He stated, “Not too long ago, they were all waiting for my launch, and after Nadaaniyan, the hype has dropped real bad. They’ve trolled me nonstop. ‘He won’t be able to do it only.’ It’s a massive low… and I constantly feel bad about it. I’m just gonna go on record and say that it was a really bad film.”
Ali Khan further elaborated on his feelings about the film’s reception, admitting, “It was really bad. It became a sort of culture to, ‘Oh, let’s troll that film’. There were people who were trolling it just because they heard that some other person was trolling it. That’s uncalled for, but if I now give a blockbuster in the future, I want the same kind of response. They should go mad after me.”
‘Nadaaniyan,’ a teen romantic comedy, was directed by Shauna Gautam and produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra under Dharmatic Entertainment. The film also featured Khushi Kapoor, Mahima Chaudhry, Suniel Shetty, Dia Mirza, and Jugal Hansraj.
In a review of the film, Hindustan Times noted, “Ibrahim is faithful- not to the art but to that one constant confused/disgusted expression he has on his face. It’s his first film, okay. Then he should have prepared more. Who gives an exam without preparing? It’s a disappointing debut. Khushi Kapoor fares slightly well, as she has a tougher story arc, overcoming a broken family. She handles emotional scenes well, but her dialogue delivery needs more nuance.”
Previously, Ibrahim was seen in Kayoze Irani’s ‘Sarzameen’ alongside Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran. He is slated to appear next in ‘Diler,’ directed by Kunal Deshmukh, which is expected to star Sreeleela in the lead female role.
