The internationally-acclaimed actor played a gay character in Mira Nair's The Migration. But he did get to work with Waheeda Rehman in one of the last films he did before his abrupt end: Anup Singh’s The Song Of The Scorpions.Īnup wanted Irrfan to play a cross-dresser in his next film. Sadly Irrfan never got a chance to work with Shashi Kapoor. Irrfan didn’t have the heart to correct her. Irrfan’s mother always thought acting was not such a respectable thing to do. As a child, he remembered stealing away to watch their films. Irrfan’s favourite actors were Shashi Kapoor and Waheeda Rehman. Irrfan requested Vishal for some screen moments with Tabu in Haidar. In Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haidar also Irrfan shared no screen space with Tabu. In Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi, he did not have a single shot with Tabu. Sadly, the films that Irrfan was offered with Tabu after Maqbool and The Namesake had no scope for any intimacy between them. Like Shabana for Naseeruddin Shah, Tabu knew exactly when to hold Irrfan and when to let him go on camera.Įver since he got to share some extraordinarily intimate moments with Tabu in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Maqbool and Mira Nair’s The Namesake, Irrfan was pining to complete his trilogy of romantic films with his favourite actress. My films should be able to make a small profit so that I am considered a saleable actor.” I want producers to see me as commercially viable. I really want to find widespread commercial acceptance in Hindi cinema. I continue to believe that my work will do all the talking for me. “I see my colleagues do such a good job of marketing themselves. I remember how hurt and bewildered he used to be by the lack of commercial success at one point in his career. Irrfan was always keen to work in massy films. He didn’t like the label of a ‘serious’ actor which he felt was by its very definition, debilitating. The one thing that bothered him was the lack of commercial success. He never did anything that would compromise his sense of self-worth, never stole roles from other actors, never had an extra-marital affair, never spoke harshly to his staff members when nobody was looking, never made anyone uneasy or uncomfortable with his words. Irrfan balanced his aesthetic acme with moral equity to match. There are many brilliant artists who are vermins of the earth. I believe the two should go hand-in-hand, that a good artiste should by nature be a decent human being. Irrfan was a great actor, and also a good human being.
