Imtiaz Ali Talks About Main Vaapas Aaunga

Imtiaz recently interacted with The Free Press Journal, and when asked if he was cautious while making Main Vaapas Aaunga, as in today's social media era celebrities get trolled a lot and things might trigger people, the filmmaker said, "Can you believe that the only film that I have gone to court for was Jab We Met? What could be the controversy? I have made other films that could have been controversial, but for Jab We Met, I went to court; there was a non-bailable warrant against me. I would have gone to prison. Because someone in Ratlam made a complaint against me that I have defamed the city, which was famous for chivda, fafda, and khakra, and shown it as a place for prostitution."

He added, "So, the moral of the story is that any arrow can come from any side, and you can't stop walking on the street because of that. But as a filmmaker, I realise that I have far too much power, and it has to be managed. So, there's a sense of responsibility that comes, and to the best of my intelligence, I should not try to hurt anyone."

Main Vaapas Aaunga Release Date

Main Vaapas Aaunga is backed by Applause Entertainment and Window Seat Films and is all set to release in cinemas on June 12, 2026.
