Producer’s Guild of America Awards pays tribute to Irrfan Khan; misspells the late actor’s name as ‘Irrif Kahn’

Maverick actor Irrfan Khan’s contribution to cinema will always be remembered for generations to come. The 2021 edition of the Producer’s Guild of America (PGA) Awards paid a tribute to the late actor during its “In Memoriam” segment. However, surprisingly they spelt the late actor’s name wrong.

The PGA Awards was held virtually on Wednesday (March 24) wherein 21 cine personalities were remembered under the “In Memoriam” segment. As per a report in Variety,  the pre-taped production of the awards committed a huge blunder as they misspelt the Piku actor’s name as ‘Irrif Kahn’.
