Ibrahim on facing criticism for Naadaaniya
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. 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.
Hopes for a balanced response in the future
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.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. Go to Source
