Actor Imran Abbas has openly expressed his disappointment at being labeled a liar for revealing that he received multiple Bollywood film offers.
Despite his honesty, he faced heavy criticism and mockery, especially after sharing that he was considered for a role in the Heera Mandi web series. He clarified that renowned filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali himself later confirmed he had considered casting Abbas and other Pakistani artists, but this acknowledgment failed to silence his critics.
Bollywood Offered Different Roles to Imran Abbas
In interviews on national TV, Abbas explained that he had indeed been approached for several Bollywood projects, though circumstances prevented him from accepting. “People called me a liar when I mentioned Heera Mandi,” he said, adding that these accusations largely stemmed from trust in Indian journalists—some of whom, he pointed out, are banned in India for spreading misinformation—over his statements.
Abbas emphasized his two-decade-long career in the entertainment industry, including several Indian films, and questioned why he would fabricate such claims on public platforms. “Why would I lie about offers from filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Rajkumar Hirani? These are respected names, and I wouldn’t misuse them,” he asserted.
