Muzamil Ibrahim said that the kind of buzz around him during the time of debut was phenomenal. He said that things get hard when one enters the industry. The actor added that star kids will keep getting more work even after they deliver a flop film or a bad one.

The actor started his career as a top model and entered the industry at the age of 21. He said that he has been on both sides of the rainbow and admitted that at a tender age, people tend to take things to the heart. Ibrahim added that a trace of bitterness comes along with it where one wonders why things are not going well. He stated that the film industry is one big family and there is another family within it. 

Muzamil Ibrahim added that they compete against each other and it is fine with them as long as the competition stays inside the family. He further said that it becomes a problem for them when someone with genuine star potential comes and probably poses a threat to where they stand. Muzamil further said that the troubles begin when one stars fighting for the A-league.
