Directed by Punit Malhotra, Imran Khan played a playboy in the rom-com.<\/p>\n<p><!--MIDTABOOLA--><\/p>\n<p>When Imran Khan was showed an old photo-shoot, the actor recalled how Karan Johar put an effort to make him look effortlessly sexy on screen. &#8220;Karan kind of decided to sex-up my image. I generally do not gain much weight but I was minding my diet and exercising and all of that for the film particularly. Karan said we are going to cash in on this. We did a lot of&#8230; kind of topless shoots,&#8221; the actor told <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u8dqzsZCqtI&amp;list=PLHkcqImp8gcZeXTc38nzX2BDACisYIGPu&amp;index=1\" rel=\"no index no follow \">Moments of Silence podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/entertainment\/imran-khan-s-comeback-and-why-he-was-mia-5004081\">Imran Khan left the industry<\/a> at his prime to focus on his mental health. Last year, in an interview with Vogue, the actor revealed why he decided to take a break from acting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--#VuukleAD--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hit a low in 2016 where I felt broken inside. Luckily, I was working in an industry that had rewarded me financially, so by the time I was 30, I didn&#8217;t have to worry about money. At that point, it wasn&#8217;t my career because I wasn&#8217;t excited by it enough to want to work hard for it. I had recently become a father and thought, &#8216;This is valuable. This is something I take seriously.&#8217; I wanted to be the best version of myself for Imara. I decided it was no longer my job to be an actor. Now, I had to fix myself; be at my healthiest and strongest for my daughter,&#8221; he told Vogue.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a strong buzz that Imran Khan would make his comeback soon.
