Imran Khan, the American actor of Indian origin, is making a comeback to the silver screen after an 11-year hiatus. The actor, who is the nephew of actor Aamir Khan and director-producer Mansoor Khan, began his career as a child artist, appearing in films like "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" (1988) and "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar" (1992), where he played the younger version of Aamir Khan.
Khan's official Bollywood debut as a lead actor was in the 2008 romantic comedy, "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na". The film was a critical and commercial success, winning him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. In the film, he won hearts with his portrayal of Jai Singh Rathore, a college student.
After his debut, Khan starred in several commercially successful comedies, including "I Hate Luv Storys" (2010), "Mere Brother Ki Dulhan" (2011), and "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu" (2012). In "Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu," he played Rahul Kapoor, an architect who marries a stranger (Kareena Kapoor) after a night of drinking in Las Vegas. Critics responded favorably to the film, with one noting that Khan comfortably slipped into his role.
However, after a series of box-office failures, Khan took a break from acting. During this time, he remained active in social causes and even directed a documentary short film titled "Mission Mars: Keep Walking India" (2018).
Now, in 2026, Khan is set to return to the world of acting. While details about his upcoming projects are still under wraps, the news of his comeback has already generated excitement among fans and industry insiders. Many are eager to see what the actor has in store after his long absence.
In a surprising turn of events, Siddharth Nigam, who also played a younger version of Aamir Khan in the 2013 film "Dhoom 3," is also making headlines. Nigam, who was a national-level gymnast before entering the film industry, impressed audiences with his stunts and acting skills in "Dhoom 3". Nigam later starred in the serial "Maha Kumbh: Ek Rahasaya, Ek Kahani" in 2014, where he played the role of Young Rudra. He has also been a part of many shows like Chakravartin Ashoka Samrat, Peshwa Bajirao, Aladdin - Naam Toh Suna Hoga, and others.
Khan's return to acting marks a new chapter in his career. After a long break, it remains to be seen what kind of roles he will take on and how audiences will receive him.
