Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor starrer Nadaaniyan received significant criticism on the internet after its release. A section of the internet users passed their judgment on the acting performance of both the lead stars. Nearly a month later, the debutant has addressed social media flak and admitted such functionality of social media.
While speaking with Filmfare, Ibrahim Ali Khan was asked about the mixed reviews of his debut film, Nadaaniyan. In response to this, the debutant admitted having seen the reviews, but he also expressed happiness about some section of users being able to identify what he brought to the table.
He said, “I’ve seen the mixed reviews on social media, they do fry your brains a bit. Obviously, most of them are bad because that’s just how social media works. But I’m glad that a lot of people can see what I may be able to bring to the table. I’m happy with the response I got from the film industry. I’m quite pleased.”
In addition to this, the actor reviewed his performance on the Netflix film and mentioned that there is always scope to do better. Nonetheless, he also expressed his happiness about the position he is currently in.
During the conversation, Ibrahim noted that people go with very high expectations to watch a film. Nonetheless, he stated that Nadaaniyan was not supposed to be a “grand film.” The son of Saif Ali Khan described his film as a “sweet, breezy rom-com” that one could enjoy on a Friday night, chilling in their bed.
While he agreed that he had to bring in a lot more than what he did, he emphasized how his film was “twisted a lot” on social media.
“I know I can bring it and I am confident that I will bring it in my future projects. But I’m happy with what it was. I worked with hardworking people, and we made a sweet film,” he said, further adding that despite the criticism, he enjoyed working on the film.
Nadaaniyan marked the acting debut of Ibrahim Ali Khan and directorial debut of Shauna Gautam. It featured Khushi Kapoor, Jugal Hansraj, Suniel Shetty, Dia Mirza and Mahima Chaudhary in the key roles.
