# Imran Khan calls highest-paid film his most miserable 2026-08-25T14:16:45+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Actor Imran Khan has said the film that gave him his biggest pay cheque was also the most miserable he has made. In an interview with Brut, Khan said the experience taught him to set a boundary he will not cross for money. 'Even if the price is double, or three times the money, I still won't do that,' he said. Khan, who took a decade-long break from acting after his last lead role in 'Katti Batti' (2015), said his exit was not a single decision but a gradual drift. 'I spent my 30s grappling with the larger questions of who am I, what do I want to do,' he told Film Companion in 2024. He is now set to return with Netflix's 'Adhure Hum Adhure Tum', a romantic comedy directed by Danish Aslam, also starring Bhumi Pednekar. The film is in post-production and scheduled for release later this year. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three sources report the same core quote from Imran Khan's Brut interview and the same upcoming Netflix project, with no editorial slant. The coverage is uniform straight reporting: the actor's personal reflection is presented without government or political framing. The key takeaway is Khan's stated boundary against trading peace of mind for money, and his return to acting after a decade. The film's release date later this year will be the next milestone. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straightforward reporting of Khan's interview with no editorialising - ndtv.com (neutral report) Brief factual summary of Khan's statement without analysis - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Detailed but neutral retelling of the interview and career context This story was synthesised by AI from the 3 sources linked above.
