Imran Khan: Scared to revive my grandfather's film banner

Actor Imran Khan says that although he would like to revive his
grandfather Nasir Hussain's film banner, the thought of doing so
scares him.

Nasir Hussain has given Indian cinema
several hit films like Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai, Phir Wohi Dil Laya
Hoon, Tumsa Nahi Dekha, Teesri Manzil, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Caravan and
others.

Though Nasir's son Mansoor Ali Khan had
given a shot at continuing his father's
banner by producing hits such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta
Wohi Sikander, Shah Rukh Khan-Aishwarya Rai film Josh (2000) was his
last film as a director.

However, after that the Nasir Hussain
banner has not come out with any film and now Imran plans to revive
the production house.

"Emotionally, I would like to do it, but to be honest it is a scary
thought. He (NasirHussain) had set certain standards with his movies
and name. And whatever I do that will be in his name, so I don't want
to take that lightly and make any film by adding his name to it," said
Imran.

Imran feels his grandfather had spent his entire life to create a name
for himself so to make a film under his banner is something that he
takes very seriously.

"If I make a film under his name then I am playing with his
reputation, so I am scared of all this. But there is definitely an
intention (to make a film). I would very much like to do it, but I
would be very nervous. For me, it is a scary thought!" he added.
Meanwhile, Imran is excited about his next release Once Upon Ay Time
in Mumbaai Dobaara!, in which he plays the role of a goon called
Aslam. His family members, including wife Avantika and mamu Aamir
Khan, who are quite critical of his work, seem to have liked the
trailer.

"My entire family is critical of my work
from Aamir to my mother to my wife. They are the strongest and
harshest critics, more than anyone else," he said.

Aamir Khan seemed to have liked the
famous Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh song Tayyab Ali recreated by Imran
and Sonakshi.

"Surprisingly Aamir was impressed with
the song, which is a rare for him! He
generally doesn't appreciate much. Our
family is different from other film families. We don't go around
praising what work he did and all. We hold each other to very high
standard. If you do good work then that is expected," Imran said.

Milan Luthria directed film Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbaai Dobaara!
starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha along with Imran, will release
on August 15.
