Amid strong rumours of a comeback, Imran Khan has been sharing anecdotes from the films he acted in. Taking his fans back in time, the actor-director opened up about his experiences. In his recent Instagram post, Imran recalled working on Vishal Bhardwaj`s Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola co-starring Pankaj Kapur and Anushka Sharma.
Imran revealed he wasn`t the first choice for the titular role of Matru. He was signed for it after Ajay Devgn withdrew himself before the filming commenced. The actor wrote, "I was never supposed to be Matru. The film was launched with Ajay Devgn attached as Matru, but he chose to withdraw before filming could commence. I was riding high off the back-to-back successes of Delhi Belly and MBKD, and close to wrapping the shoot of EMAET when I got the call; Vishal Bhardwaj wanted to meet me! I was thrilled. He told me about his passion project, a story he had been carrying close to his heart."
