Imran, born and brought up in Bokaro, where his family still resides, had earlier made waves with his portrayal of Muntadhar Al Zaidi, an Iraqi journalist who had famously hurled a shoe at then US president George W Bush in Bhatt's play - The Last Salute.
Pretty much worked up with his new assignment, Imran feels gratified that he was considered worthy enough to step into Kulbhushan Kharbanda's shoes. "To even think of working in the theatrical remake of a movie like Arth is too much. I will do my best to follow Kulbhushan sir and prove myself to Bhatt saab," the actor says.
Since the movie was set in 1980s, Imran and team plans to revamp the whole script to give it a more contemporary look. "The story of Arth will remain relevant as long as the civilization exists. Since Arth was made in1982 and to keep the sensibilities of that era in mind, we will revamp the whole script, bringing in modern influences and setup. New songs would be recorded as well for the production, for which work has already begun," Imran informs.
Having extramarital affair as the theme of the story, we couldn't help but ask the actor if he feels that man-woman relationships have become socially more acceptable of late and he retorts. "See, it's very easy and normal to develop feelings for someone. It doesn't matter if you're a rickshaw puller or a CEO of some multinational. But at the same time, I don't think that society would ever approve of such relationships. Having extramarital affairs will always remain a taboo in a society, be it ours or western for that matter," the actor opines.
Though Mahesh Bhatt plans to introduce new faces to play the role of Shabana Azmi and Smita Patil in the production, Imran feels that Huma Qureshi would be a good choice for the role Shabana played in the original. "Though rest of the cast has not been decided yet but I feel that Huma would be a good choice for Shabana ji's role. She is a prolific actor and has been active in theater too. We want best possible cast for the production because it is going to be a signature show, with only two performances in Delhi and Mumbai. We are also thinking of roping in a female director because she would be in a better position to understand the emotions and direct everything," Imran says.
Apart from theater, Imran is also inching towards his ultimate dream - Bollywood. With his first film in a lead role - Marksheet, back on track, the actor is upbeat about his future prospects. "There was some issue between the director and other unit members because of which the schedule was thrown off gear. Now, with a new director roped in, the film is all set to release in April now. Apart from that, I'm also open to other offers but want to play lead roles only," Imran tells us.
