 "'Raaz' director Vikram Bhatt stands by Ibrahim Ali Khan amid Netflix's 'Nadaaniyan' trolling: 'He's far better than Saif Ali Khan...'")
Vikram Bhatt in an interview with Galatta India, stood by the new film Nadaaniyan on Netflix and said, “I am not able to understand the trolling that the film is facing on social media as I like both the lead actors—Khushi and Ibrahim. I liked Ibrahim, it’s a different matter whether the film is good or not.”
The director added, “But these days, there is an argument about nepotism, and to win that argument, you have to be superb, but that’s not fair for newcomers. It’s his first film. Who does superb in their first film? He has a presence in front of the camera, you can tell that he knows acting. So, I am sad about this whole thing.”
Bhatt continued, “I didn’t find any problem in his acting. The film wasn’t the type that I would watch, but I am also not the target audience for this film. It’s for Gen Z and the teenagers. As a director, I found Ibrahim and Khushi good.”
“That will happen. Ibrahim also looks like Saif, so how will you not compare? But he proves himself even by that comparison. I think he is at par with Saif and way better than Saif’s performance in his debut films,” he said. Vikram even went on to declare, “I can give you in writing that Ibrahim will be a big star,” concluded the director.
Sonu Sood on Saturday shared a note urging people to be more supportive of newcomers in the film industry.
Without naming any particular individual, the 51-year-old actor said everyone learns through experience and that it is crucial to encourage and uplift others.
“Be kind to debutants in the film fraternity and elsewhere. Nobody was perfect when they started. We all learn with experience. Only a handful get a second chance,” Sood wrote.
