Mumbai: Irrfan Khan is one of the most versatile artists in our film industry, who has lined up projects that are coming up this year, including a few of the most intriguing ones like ‘The Song of The Scorpions’ with Golshifteh Farahani, ‘Hindi Medium’ starring Saba Qamar, along with an untitled film he is working on, directed by Tanuja Chandra.
The film is said to be a romantic travelogue which reportedly has Irrfan sporting a new look. The shoots have been wrapped up in Rewari, Bikaner and Hrishikesh and have now moved over to Gangtok.
The team is expected to move to Mumbai and complete the final schedule by the end of the month. In Gangtok that historically has never been too exposed to Bollywood films Irrfan got an opportunity to meet new people and visit places in Gangtok. Surprisingly enough for the star, the response from the people was overwhelming.
Despite not really being an active filming zone for the Bollywood industry, Gangtok welcomed Irrfan and the team with a stunningly huge crowd, which took the cast by surprise.
The people embraced Irrfan warmly. The erstwhile uninitiated on Bollywood crowd surprisingly knew about his contribution to the film industry globally.
A source from the sets revealed, “The crowd went absolutely hysterical upon spotting Irrfan. The commotion was so much so that the shoot had to be stalled.”
Irrfan was tongue-tied when he was welcomed by such an excitable crowd.
He said, ''The welcome in Gangtok was fantastic. In a place where access to movies is very limited, to see such a response was great. Much like the place, the people of Gangtok are wonderful and beautiful.”
