Tuesday, 22nd July 2014, 05:50 PM IST Actor Irrfan Khan is really excited. The reason being a role that has been offered to him, that is about poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. Irrfan said, “Ever since I learnt that Ashi Dua was planning a film on Sahir and Amrita Pritam's love story, I wondered why they were not coming tome with it. They did after a month. It's the role I have been waiting for along time. It is well-researched and beautifully written. I can't wait to immerse myself into the character.”
Irrfan also admitted that the makers of the film are in talks with Priyanka Chopra to play the role of writer and poet Amrita Pritam. “Imroz, a beautiful man and Amrita's non-demanding companion, is another outstanding role waiting to be cast,” adds Irrfan. Irrfan feels connected with the role of Sahir, “Chalo ek baar phir se ajnabi ban jayein hum dono... What an original thought!” say she. As a child, Irrfan hardly had any interest in verse and wasn’t allowed to listen to music. He further adds, “But while at the National School of Drama, I developed an interest in both and also acting. But as an actor I didn't follow the rules. I let things happen, following stories and characters which made me feel good about myself. I guess there's a Sahir in me too.” |
