Irrfan Khan is one of those Bollywood actors who have made a mark internationally. Recently, the actor turned down Steven Spielberg's drama, ‘Ghost In The Shell’. The actor was to star alongside Scarlett Johansson in the flick.
Irrfan said, "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."
Talking about Scarlett, the actor said, "She's a brilliant actor. Hopefully, we will share screen space sometime soon in something else."
Last year, Irrfan had also bowed out of ‘The Martian’ and was eventually replaced by Chiwetel Ejiofor as a scientist of Indian origin. "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 said.
