Its just few days of Irrfan Khan passing away and we’re still not over the major loss to the industry. The actor served as an inspiration and left an impact on the lives of many through his work. Today, director Kabir Khan spoke to an online portal revealing why he feels he was fortunate enough to work with Irrfan in New York.
Kabir Khan’s New York starred John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan. The director shares an incident from the set of his film which is truly amazing to know. The director was shooting Nawazuddin Siddique for a scene. Back in the day, Nawazuddin had still not shot to fame and was not a known name. However Irrfan wanted to watch the intense and emotional scene which was going to be performed by Siddqiue. Kabir Khan says in the interview that Irrfan was so moved by the scene, that he was left in tears. This clearly shows that Irrfan was really an emotional person and how much he loved movies and took the characters to be really close to his heart.
Kabir further added by saying that Irrfan was very close to his characters and understood the depth of it. He was a brilliant actor and the filmmaker is surely shaken by the sudden loss of this prolific performer.
Kabir Khan’s next ’83 is based on the iconic moment of India’s winning victory at the World Cup. It recently was revealed that the Ranveer Singh starrer, will not have a direct OTT release and will go the conventional route when the time is right.
