'Delhi Belly' director Abhinay Deo speaks about Imran Khan quitting acting to take up direction

Aamir Khan's nephew Imran Khan entered Bollywood some years ago and instantly became everyone's favourite. He represented the chocolate boy that every girl wanted. He did many films, many of which didn't do that well at the Box Office before he quit the film industry for good. 

One of his most talked-about films was 'Delhi Belly' which released a decade ago in theatres. The director of the film, Abhinay Deo, shared his thoughts about the "very talented" star finding a new creative outlet and the possibility of them ever working together again in an interview with ETimes.
 
Deo revealed that he had offered a few films to the actor, "I would surely like to work with Imran again. After 'Delhi Belly', there were a few feature films I had offered him as an actor, but, he has taken a call to go towards direction rather than acting and I personally believe that he is a very talented guy. He is very intelligent, well-read, very well aware of world cinema."

Supporting Imran's decision he further said, "Imran is a trained director. I personally feel that a person's talent doesn't need only one channel to come out of. If as a director he feels that he will be able to do justice to his craft, then so be it. Any form that his talent comes out, we should be welcoming."

Imran Khan made his acting debut in 2008 with 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' and he was last seen in 'Katti Batti' starring Kangana Ranaut in 2015.
