‘Trolled me nonstop’: Ibrahim Ali Khan calls ‘Nadaaniyan’ a ‘bad film’; admits he ‘rushed’ his debut

Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son, Ibrahim Ali Khan, has acted in two films so far, ‘Sarzameen’ and his debut, ‘Nadaaniyan’, co-starring Khushi Kapoor. Directed by Shauna Gautam, ‘Nadaaniyan’ released on OTT but failed to impress audiences and critics.

The film and the actors faced heavy trolling and backlash, and Ibrahim has now spoken openly about the experience.

Ibrahim Ali Khan recalls how hype turned into harsh trolling

In a recent interview with Esquire India, Ibrahim admitted ‘Nadaaniyan’ was a “really bad film” and shared how the criticism affected him. He said, “Not too long ago, they were all waiting for my launch, and after 'Nadaaniyan', the hype has dropped real bad. They’ve trolled me nonstop. 'He won’t be able to do it only'.

It’s a massive low… and I constantly feel bad about it."He did not shy away from admitting the film’s flaws. “I’m just gonna go on record and say that it was a really bad film," he said.

Ibrahim reveals how trolling affected him deeply

Ibrahim also shared how the trolling took a toll on him personally. “It was really bad. It became a sort of culture to, 'Oh, let’s troll that film'. There were people who were trolling it just because they heard that some other person was trolling it.

That’s uncalled for," he explained.Even though the criticism was harsh, Ibrahim expressed a desire for balanced reactions in the future. “But if I now give a blockbuster in the future, I want the same kind of response. They should go mad after me," he added.

He admits rushing into his debut project

Ibrahim reflected on his debut and admitted he may have rushed into the project. “Of course, I was working very hard, like I’m still working hard on my speech issue.

But in a way, I feel I must have rushed into that movie. I was 21 when I began shooting for it, others around me are doing it at 26, 27, 28, and I now think I could have been more mindful of the scale of what was going to happen," he said.
