Yup. Irfan Khan became Irrfan Khan more than a year ago. But he reaping the results of this name change only now. Not only has he starred in international ventures like A Mighty Heart where he shared screenspace with hottie Anjelina Jolie, but he is viewed as an actor who is good both for art and commercial films. That is a rare distinction.
However, the crowning glory has come to him only now. According to a recent national poll by the Indian edition of the internationally reknown men’s magazine GQ, he has been named Man of the Year.
That’s not all. He was also on the list of being the most bankable star from India in Hollywood. That’s a lot of attention.
And going by Irrfan’s unconventional look, he could well be the modern day Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah combined. Keep it going, Irrfan. Bollywood (and Hollywood) needs many more like you.
