Imran Abbas is a popular Pakistani actor and has been a part of several projects. He made his Bollywood debut with the 2014 film 'Creature 3D' which also featured Bipasha Basu in the lead.

However, in a recent interview, the actor revealed that he was also the first choice for many notable Bollywood projects but denied to be a part of them.
  
He said, "Ab to har koi kehta hai ki mujhe bhi Aashiqui 2 offer huyi thi. Lekin aap management se jaake pooch lijiye that the only official offer made by that director Mohit Suri and producer wo sirf mujhe hi unhone ki thi. So, sabse pehli offer bhi meri thi aur jab audiotions khatam ho gaye the phir aakhir mein wo dobaara mere paas hi aayi thi."

He also admitted that he regrets not being a part of 'Aashiqui 2.' The actor was also offered a role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi:The Diamond Bazaar' but he couldn't do it as the project was shelved.
  
Imran further went on to be a part of other projects including 'Jaanisaar' and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' in which he portrayed the role of Dr. Faisal Khan.
