After nearly a decade away from the big screen, Bollywood actor Imran Khan is all set to make his highly anticipated return. Known for his roles in romantic comedies and light-hearted dramas, Khan was last seen on screen in the 2015 film Katti Batti, alongside Kangana Ranaut.
Since then, he has mostly stayed out of the public eye, making a brief return behind the camera to direct the short film Mission Mars: Keep Walking India in 2018. Now, the wait for his comeback is nearly over, with Break Ke Baad director Danish Aslam confirming a new project in collaboration with Khan.
Fans of Imran Khan, who once was a prominent name in Bollywood, have long awaited his return. In a recent interview, Danish Aslam, who directed Khan in the 2010 film Break Ke Baad, confirmed that they are currently working together on a project, though he remained tight-lipped about the details.

“I can’t really talk about that too much right now. I am working with him [Imran] on something and there has already been some stuff about it in the press as well. Some of it is true, some of it is not,” Aslam remarked, maintaining a level of mystery that has only heightened curiosity among Khan’s fans and followers.
When asked about when an official announcement might be expected, Aslam clarified that while the project is indeed in progress, final details are still being ironed out. He added, “Unfortunately, it is a project which is still a work in progress.
So, the moment things are locked and fall into place, we will very happily announce it to the world. But all I can say is that I am working with Imran Khan on something.”
Break Ke Baad, Khan and Aslam’s previous collaboration, gained attention for its fresh take on romance and friendship, starring Deepika Padukone, Sharmila Tagore, and Shahana Goswami in addition to Khan.
The film was a contemporary love story, known for its charm and relatable characters. It explored the themes of commitment and self-discovery, and the chemistry between Khan and Padukone won over audiences.
Aslam’s direction was noted for its refreshing approach, which fans hope to see once again in this upcoming project with Khan.
Imran Khan’s career trajectory has been unique. Initially, he won over Bollywood audiences with hits like Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na and I Hate Luv Storys, showcasing his knack for relatable, boy-next-door characters.
However, his films post-2013 did not perform as well, leading to a gradual decline in his acting career. Katti Batti, his last film, received mixed reviews, leaving fans disappointed and curious about the actor’s future.
Khan’s brief venture into directing in 2018 also marked a shift, as he attempted to explore different aspects of filmmaking. While he’s largely remained out of the public eye, this return promises to reintroduce him to Bollywood in a fresh light.

Khan’s decision to work again with Danish Aslam, the director of Break Ke Baad, adds an exciting angle to his comeback, as both share a creative synergy that worked well in the past. The duo’s reunion has generated a wave of anticipation and speculation about the kind of storyline and character Khan will portray.
Although the details of the project are still under wraps, fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation and are hopeful that the official announcement will deliver the kind of news they’ve been longing for.
Khan’s break from acting raised questions about his future in Bollywood, but this collaboration with Aslam suggests he is ready to re-engage with his craft, possibly bringing a new perspective shaped by his experiences away from the spotlight.
As Break Ke Baad struck a chord with audiences, there is optimism that this new project will resonate similarly, marking a successful chapter in both Khan’s and Aslam’s careers.
For now, fans can only wait for further updates, with many hoping this comeback will showcase a refreshed version of Imran Khan, bringing the same charm and sincerity that initially won him a place in Bollywood. With Aslam’s confirmation, excitement has been reignited around Khan’s return, promising a new phase in his journey as an actor.
