Bhumi Pednekar recently shared a delightful glimpse into Imran Khan’s birthday festivities. The actor, who is gearing up for a grand return to Bollywood, celebrated his special day alongside Bhumi, with whom he has collaborated on an upcoming untitled romantic comedy. This year holds particular significance for Imran, and Bhumi made sure to add a personal touch with a heartfelt birthday message!
In the video posted by Bhumi, fans can see Imran blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, accompanied by the nostalgic tune of his iconic song ‘Adhoore.’ This reminder of his past hits highlights how he has played a pivotal role in shaping the rom-com genre over the years. “Happy birthday, Imran! This year is going to be unforgettable,” Bhumi expressed, heightening the anticipation for their upcoming film. She also referred to him as “one of my most favorite people I discovered recently” in her earlier Instagram story.
The excitement surrounding the collaboration between Bhumi and Imran is palpable, with audiences eagerly awaiting to witness the dynamic chemistry between this fresh pair on screen.
In terms of future projects, Imran Khan is set to star in ‘Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoos,’ which hits theaters on January 16. Actor Vir Das shared an interesting anecdote about how Imran joined the film unexpectedly, saying, “One day, I received a text from Imran. He doesn’t even use WhatsApp! The message said, ‘Hey, I hear the movie is shaping up nicely. Can I come and do something fun in the film?’” This surprise was particularly notable, considering Imran’s selective nature regarding roles and his relative absence from the limelight in recent years.
What ensued was a collaborative effort grounded in instinct and trust. “After he reached out, I incorporated him into the script of ‘Happy Patel.’ I told him, give me some time to create a character that is entertaining and unlike anything you’ve done before,” Vir explained.
Meanwhile, Bhumi Pednekar is also making waves with her daring role in the upcoming series ‘Daldal.’ She plays DCP Rita Ferreira, a committed police officer on the trail of a ruthless killer. Based on Vish Dhamija’s novel ‘Bhendi Bazaar,’ this psychological drama is set to stream soon on Amazon Prime Video.
