India, March 26 -- Actor Imran Khan, known for films like Jaane Tu..Ya Jaane Na (2008) and Break Ke Baad (2010), has voiced strong concerns over the current state of mainstream Hindi cinema for lacking "empathy and kindness," calling out the rise of hyper-masculine storytelling. Answering fans' questions during a Reddit Ask Me Anything session, regarding the industry's shift from "feel-good" films, he said, "There's a lack of empathy, kindness and responsibility in our stories," adding he's "disturbed" by films that "coddle every violent tantrum thrown by emotionally immature man-child." Khan also revealed his upcoming film Adhure Hum Adhure Tum aims to bring back emotional depth. The 43-year-old also emphasised that he consciously distances himself from narratives that normalise toxicity: "Important to note that there's a difference between portraying violence and toxicity and validating them. My sensibilities would not permit me to participate in a narrative which I consider to be irresponsible." Highlighting the broader societal impact, he noted how modern films often reinforce harmful stereotypes. "True strength lies in emotional vulnerability," he wrote, adding that narrow definitions of masculinity harm both women and men.HTC...
