Imran Khan: Will Take Me 20 Years To Be Like Shah Rukh Khan Or Aamir Khan

Imran Khan may be only five movies old, but the actor’s dedication to his craft shows. An untrained actor, Imran says that he learns acting from his co-stars and relies on his director to guide the way.

In fact, Imran is so dedicated that he was working till two days before his wedding and even the day after! Considering that biwi Avantika Malik put up with this, we can’t help but say, “Behind every successful man is a woman.”

Imran isn’t one to easily rest on his laurels. He thinks it’s important to work hard and continuously for the next 20 years to reach the level of stardom and have a body of work like Shah Rukh Khan and mamu Aamir Khan. The handsome star has lived to his words and has been working non-stop for two years now. But it took a long time before Imran could actually see himself on screen. Between the completion of his debut film Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and its release, almost two and a half years had passed, and Imran had already shot for Kidnap and Luck by then.

But 2011 is a busier year for the newly married star. His first adult comedy, Delhi Belly, will hit theatres this week. His next film, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with Katrina Kaif and Ali Zafar, is expected to release later this year. And he already has a film with Kareena Kapoor in his kitty!
