Sutapa Sikdar shared the emotional throwback, writing, “Irrfan and I produced this little gem. A leprosy film I wrote, and Irrfan turned it into a beautiful love story.” She also highlighted Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s humble beginnings on set, stating, “@nawazuddin._siddiqui was very new to the industry at that time. I remember him saying ‘ji ji’ at everything… our junior from NSD. It was a small setup, big dreams, bigger passion.”

The viral video’s text offered further insight into Irrfan’s directorial philosophy. She noted, “He had a strong vision. And contrary to many directors I met at that time in television, he believed in less.”

Originally conceived as a story about leprosy, Irrfan reimagined Alvida as a love story. As the narration in the video states, “So very few people know that Irrfan directed Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He was new, fresh, and to date my most favourite performance of Nawaz!”

Nawazuddin Siddiqui previously confirmed the significance of this project, sharing with The Times of India, “Not many know that it was Irrfan who first directed me as an actor in a film called Alvida in 2000. It was my first film as a lead actor and his as a director… Had he done that, he would be as successful a filmmaker as he was as an actor.”
