Ibrahim Ali Khan breaks his long silence on criticism he received for Nadaniyaan, says, ‘I’m being trolled by…’
In the aftermath of the release of his debut film Nadaaniyan, actor Ibrahim Ali Khan has spoken out about the backlash and trolling that followed. The film, released on Netflix earlier this year, failed to meet expectations and became the subject of widespread online scrutiny, leaving the young actor in a reflective mood.
What did Ibrahim Ali Khan say?
In an interview with Esquire India, Ibrahim Ali Khan opened up about the intense trolling he faced after his debut film Nadaaniyan failed to impress. He admitted the backlash deeply affected his confidence, describing it as a major low point. He said, “Some people were trolling it just because they heard someone else was trolling it. It’s unfair, but if I give a blockbuster in the future, I want a similar reaction. They should go crazy after me.” Reflecting honestly, he called the film “really bad” and accepted responsibility for its outcome.
Ibrahim further said, “I was working very hard-like I’m still working on my speech impediment. But in a way, I think I may have rushed that film. I was 21 when I started shooting it. People around me are doing it at 26, 27, 28, and now I think I could have been more aware of what was coming.”
