Among Indian actors who have made forays into firangi filmdom, Irrfan Khan stands tall. In the last five years Irrfan had the singular honor of working in two of the most successful multi-Oscar winning international projects Slumdog Millionaire and The Life Of Pi.
He has also been part of the latest Spiderman flick and did a short-film for Mira Nair co-starring Natalie Portman.
Not that Irrfan is sitting on his laurels. His hunger for new challenges is in his own words, insatiable.
Irrfan’s latest challenge is his biggest to date. For a Brazilian film that he has said yes to, the method actor known to go to great lengths to get it right, would be learning how to speak Arabic.
The Brazilian film is not the only one where Irrfan is grappling the grammar and accent of an unfamiliar language. In Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider, Irrfan plays a Kashmiri character and is trying to master the nuances of the way Urdu is spoken in the Valley.
