I don't have a godfather: Muzammil Ibrahim

Actor Muzammil Ibrahim who made a comeback to the big screen after five long years speaks about the tough times and the days ahead
Post a good debut in 2007 with "Dhoka", actor Muzammil Ibrahim vanished from the big screen when a lot was expected from the actor. The model-turned-actor who made his return to the big screen with the recently released "Will You Marry Me" says that the reason for his disappearance from Bollywood could be attributed to the fact that he did not know how to handle his career."I was fairly new in the industry. My debut got me noticed and I was offered a lot of films. But then I did not know how to chose the right projects," says the actor. Between his debut and recently released flick, the actor spent five years without a single movie. "I was working on this film, "Horn Ok Please". I did not sign any other flick. When the movie was shelved, I was devastated. I put all my eggs into one basket. Later I realized that I didn't have any other movie to fall back on. No one wanted to work with me then. It was a big struggle," admits the actor.
But now, Muzammil claims to have gotten smarter with the ways of the industry. "I don't belong to a filmi family neither do I have a girlfriend who can promote me. I don't have a Godfather either. I'm basically on my own and whatever has transpired in the past few years has made me stronger and wiser. Now I'm ready to take on the world with renewed sense of vigor and maturity."
