It was a welcome Imran Khan may not have imagined. At the ongoing Mumbai Film Festival, actor Imran Khan was booed by the audience when he walked up the stage to present Two Days, One Night by the Dardennes brothers at Chandan Cinema.

"Start the film!" chanted the crowd. A guy screamed Khan, "What are you doing here?" To which Khan politely replied, "I'm not sure what I'm doing here."

Khan was apparently coaxed into presenting a film he didn't know much about.

As much as the organisers have tried to give the film fest Bollywood touch, the crowd there doesn't seem impressed. The artsy and intellectual crowd clearly did not see any space for mainstream cinema there.

Another Bollywood actor Varun Dhwan was supossed to present Richard Linklater's Boyhood, but he was no where to be seen. Perhaps, Varun took the cue from Imran's experience chose to stay away. Boyhood was screened without anyone presenting it.
