There is a better writer and director inside Imran

He continued, "See, Imran Khan has left acting at the moment. As far as I know, there is a better writer and director inside Imran, I do not know when he will direct his film himself, I am not going to put any pressure, but as a friend, I think so he will direct his film soon. Also, when Imran directs, I know he will make a wonderful film because his sensibility and understanding of cinema is very high."

Imran has been in the news for his disturbing relationship with wife Avantika Malik. Though neither of them have confirmed their separation Avantika's cryptic social media post hints a lot of things. Last year in June, when Imran was asked about it at an event when he said, "How can you ask such a question at an event like this?"
