Bollywood actor Imran Khan was last seen in the 2015 Katti Batti after which he took a sabbatical from acting and has been trying to make a comeback. The actor was speaking to Film Companion recently where he opened up about the portrayal of violence in Hindi cinema today.

He was quoted saying, “I have a sense about where cinema is these days. There is a glamourization and a fetishization and sexualisation of violence that makes me uncomfortable. There is a way to portray violence. This is not a morality thing. Violence and action are… it is a language in cinema but when we communicate it, when we portray it in films, there is a way to do it where you feel the weight of it."
