Ibrahim Ali Khan must learn to embrace criticism, says 'Sarzameen' director Kayoze Irani- Read here
Filmmaker Kayoze Irani , who made his directorial debut with 'Sarzameen', has spoken candidly about the scrutiny faced by his film's lead actor, Ibrahim Ali Khan . In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Kayoze acknowledged the mixed reactions that Ibrahim received for his performance, not just in Sarzameen, but also in his debut film Nadaaniyan. 'He has put himself in the spotlight. When you do that, you must allow the public to criticise you. This same public will also love you when the time comes,' said Kayoze. Both Kayoze and Ibrahim come from privileged film backgrounds—Kayoze is the son of Boman Irani, while Ibrahim is the son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh . Addressing the ongoing nepotism debate, the director admitted, 'Yes, I know Ibrahim is a nepo kid—so am I. But the real challenge begins after the doors open. You still have to prove yourself.' 'Mean Comments Aren't Criticism'; The Line Between Honest Feedback and Hate While Kayoze accepts criticism as part of the journey, he took issue with those who resort to hateful remarks without even watching the film. 'It becomes a problem when people are just being nasty for the sake of it. That's not feedback, that's taking joy in someone else's struggle,' he said. However, he also added that responding to such negativity doesn't help much. 'It won't change anything. What will change things is him coming forward and proving people wrong with his work,' he said firmly. 'It's Never Going to Get Easier'; Why Kayoze and Ibrahim Are in This Together Starring alongside veterans Kajol and Prithviraj Sukumaran, Ibrahim still has a long road ahead. 'They have nothing to prove. But Ibrahim and I—we do,' said Kayoze. Despite the criticism, he believes that audiences have begun to warm up to Ibrahim's screen presence more than they did in his debut. 'I've read the comments, the reviews—there's a shift. But it's now on him to keep going, one step at a time. And no, it's never going to get easier—for either of us.
