Apart from the three Khans of Bollywood who have literally redefined ‘entertainment’, there’s another Khan who never fails to mesmerize us with his brilliant on-screen deliverance. Yes, we are talking about none other than Irrfan Khan. To much of our pride, the actor now has fans not just across India but across the globe. He was recently offered to act in Steven Spielberg’s next “Ghost in the Shell” alongside Scarlett Johansson. He turned it down; however, being approached by Spielberg is always delightful, isn’t it?

“No is never a pleasant thing to say. I believe there is a right time for things to fall in place. I feel extremely humbled by the kind of opportunities that come my way and I am hungry for so much more as an actor,”- the ‘Lunchbox’ actor said.

Irrfan as well had turned down Hollywood filmmaker Ridley Scott’s offer to act in his ‘The Martian’. “It’s quite a dilemma for me to make such choices as I am at a stage in my career where I’m trying my best to surprise my audience with every role, give them some variety. Who wouldn’t want to work with prestigious names like Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg! I am hoping the future holds something so path-breaking and so empowering for me as an artist that a `no’ will not be an option,”- he keeps his fingers crossed.

How about missing out on the experience of acting alongside Scarlett Johansson? Irrfan, as he says, is already a fan of Johansson! “She’s a brilliant actor. Hopefully, we will share screen space sometime soon in something else,”- the ‘Life Of Pi’ actor points out.

Here’s Hoping to see Irrfan Khan soon, in amazing global projects!
