Idris Elba Ne Kaha: Main Agla James Bond Nahi Ban Raha, Kabhi Race Mein Tha Hi Nahi!

Pakistani gamers aur movie buffs, kya haal hain? Aaj hum baat karne wale hain ek aisi khabar ki jisne pichle 15 saal se fans ko uljhan mein rakha hua tha. Aur ab, finally, Idris Elba ne khud is par full stop laga diya hai!

Ji haan, The Wire aur Sonic the Hedgehog jaisi hit projects ke star, Idris Elba, ne saaf saaf keh diya hai ke woh agle James Bond banne ki race mein kabhi the hi nahi. Unhone yeh baat haal hi mein People magazine se baat karte hue kahi, jahan unhone un saari qiyaas-aaraaiyon (speculations) ko khatam kar diya jo unhe 007 ke role ke liye top choice maan rahi thin.

Elba ne wazahat karte hue kaha, “Mera naam toh is race mein phenka hi nahi ja raha, bilkul nahi. Woh log young actor dhoondh rahe hain. Aur main unhein duniya ki har kamyabi ki dua deta hoon. Main intezaar nahi kar sakta – yeh amazing hone wala hai.” Unhone mazeed kaha, “Main honestly kabhi bhi is race mein nahi tha. Main pehle bhi is race mein nahi tha.”

Amazon MGM, jo James Bond franchise ke peechhe hai, agle 007 ki talash mein hai. Aur is casting ke charge mein hain Nina Gold, jinhone Star Wars aur Game of Thrones jaise mega projects ke liye actors choose kiye hain. Agle Bond ka naam abhi tak final nahi hua hai, lekin Idris Elba ka naam pichle 15 saal se 007 circles mein ghoom raha tha.

Lekin sach kahoon toh, Elba ko yeh role kabhi itna pasand aaya hi nahi. 2016 mein bhi unhone khud ko is role ke liye “bohat boodha” samjha tha, aur us waqt ki afwahon ko “duniya ki sabse ajeeb afwahein” qaraar diya tha. Sirf do saal baad toh unhone saaf “na” keh diya tha jab unse is part ke baare mein poocha gaya.

Ek podcast interview mein 2023 mein, unhone kaha tha ke yeh unke liye “ek bohat bada compliment” hai ke itne log unhein 007 ke role mein dekhna chahte hain. Lekin, unhone yeh bhi bataya ke jab kuch logon ne is discussion ko rang (race) ki taraf mod diya, toh unhein “yeh sab ghinona aur na-pasandeeda” lagne laga.

Daniel Craig ke No Time to Die ke baad 2021 mein Bond ka tuxedo utaarne ke baad, Elba ke baare mein baatein phir shuru ho gain. Lekin ab lagta hai ke Elba in Bond ki baaton ko peeche chhod kar aage badhna chahte hain, khaas kar jab woh apni nayi movie, Masters of the Universe, ko promote kar rahe hain.

Unhone People ko bataya, “Masters of the Universe meri cheez thi. Bachpan mein main isse bohat dekhta tha.” Unhone mazeed kaha, “Duncan ka role nibhana aur usmein thodi tabdeeli lana – use mujh jaisa dikhana – ek asal treat tha. Mujhe thoda comedic aur bada banne ka mauqa mila, toh maine isse khoob enjoy kiya.”

Toh, jab tak hum agle James Bond ke naam ka intezaar kar rahe hain, yeh toh saaf ho gaya ke Idris Elba is list mein nahi hain. Ab dekhte hain kaun banega agla 007!
