Ibrahim Ali Khan has to allow public to criticise him, says Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani: 'It will never get easier'
Actor Ibrahim Ali Khan is only two films old in the industry, but has already seen his fair share of criticism. His debut film, Nadaaniyan, saw some criticism come his way for his performance. His recent release, Sarzameen, also saw mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani spoke to Hindustan Times in an exclusive chat about the feedback the film and Ibrahim received. Ibrahim Ali Khan in a still from Kayoze Irani's Sarzameen. On the criticism Ibrahim faced for Sarzameen Kayoze, the son of actor-director Boman Irani, says he understands that both he and Ibrahim come from privileged backgrounds when it comes to cinema. Ibrahim is the son of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, and the younger brother of Sara Ali Khan. "Yes, I know that Ibrahim is a nepo kid, as am I," says Kayoze, adding, "He has come into the spotlight and put himself on a pedestal where he's allowing the country to judge him. There have been doors that may have been opened for him. So when you are up there, you have to, you have to allow the public to criticise you because this is the same public that will show you love." However, Kayoze says that the problem begins when the criticism is not constructive. "I have a problem when it's mean and it's nasty, and I have a problem when the comments are nasty without having seen the film because then you are taking joy in being nasty," he explains. However, the filmmaker adds that addressing the mean comments will not change anything. "For him, I don't think that my commenting on it or his commenting on it is changing that. What has to change is his coming and proving everybody wrong." 'Ibrahim and I have a lot to prove' Sarzameen stars Ibrahim alongside Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran, two veteran actors with decades of experience behind them. Kayoze says, "Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran have nothing to prove, but Ibrahim and Kayo have a lot to prove. So, I genuinely embrace the criticism. Yes, when it comes without having watched the film and when you are eagerly awaiting someone's failure, that is wrong." But the filmmaker believes that the audience has warmed up to Ibrahim more as compared to his debut film a few months ago. "I read all the reviews, I read all the YouTube comments, and the Instagram comments. I do feel that people have taken to him a lot more this time around. Now it's up to him to keep doing it, to keep signing and keep putting one step ahead of another. It's never going to get easier, for him or for me," he says Sarzameen is currently streaming on JioHotstar.

Kal Penn recalls he had to stop showing up on Indian film set to get his due payment: 'I'm not coming until I get paid'
Actor Kal Penn has shared that once, while working on an Indian film, his payment was so delayed that he had to stop showing up on set to get it. Speaking with the Indian Express, Kal spoke in detail about the incident when he flew from the US to India and started working on the film "in good faith," even though the money wasn't there. He added that he was warned by fellow Bollywood actors that he might not get paid. Kal Penn talked about an unpleasant incident while working in an Indian film. Kal Penn shares he stopped going to film's set to get his due payment Kal shared that even though the filming was about to end, he didn't get his payment. "So with, like, three days left to go, I told everybody on set, 'I'm not coming tomorrow until I get paid.' And the crew was like, 'Yeah, finally. Good for you.' And the producers were like, 'Okay.' So that second-to-last day, there's a phone call: 'Sir, your car is ready.' And I said, 'No, actually, I'm not coming today. You can let the driver go. I haven't been paid.' Then, like ten minutes later, one of the financiers calls: 'Mr. Kalpen, koi problem hai (Is there a problem)?' I'm like, 'I just haven't been paid, so I can't come to work.' We had some strong words after that. He just goes, 'Okay, just wait in your room. In two hours' time, my boy will come.' I'm like, 'Okay',' he said. How his move made producers pay him within a few days He shared how he received the payment, all in cash, in "a brown paper bag" from a man. "He hands it to me and just goes, 'Count it.' I was like, 'Alright. Do you want to come in?' He goes, 'No.' So I closed the door, counted it, it was like half of what the guy owed me, in cash. The phone rings. I was like, 'Uh, actually, this is just half of what you owe me.' He goes, 'Yeah, the other half you'll receive tomorrow.' I'm like, 'Okay.' So I put the money in the safe, fully expecting it to, like, not be there when I came home from work, fully expecting somebody to steal my kidney when I got there,' he also said. Kal added that he was four hours late to work, but the film's team was ready with the money the next day. He added that he returned to the US with the cash, declared it, and filled out forms. About Kal's films The actor has starred in several films over the years, such as Express: Aisle to Glory, American Desi, Van Wilder, Cosmopolitan, Dude, Where's the Party, Ball & Chain, Sueno, The Namesake, Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain, and The Ashram, among many others.
