As heroes go, he isn't either chocolate-faced or macho. Yet, Irrfan Khan has an arresting presence. Droopy eyes and a constant intense look make him a frontrunner in unconventional cinema.
Currently the actor is making waves abroad. He's drawn applause for his work in Mira Nair's The Namesake and has just finished working on Michael Winterbottom's A Mighty Heart -- opposite Angelina Jolie, no less.
He just made his Telugu debut with Sainikudu, playing a villain. His Bollywood lineup is an interesting one: Kaushik Roy's Apna Asman deals with the subject of good parenting; then there's Anurag Basu's Metro, and Aditya Bhattacharya's Dubai Return -- which, he feels, is a comedy on the lines of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron.
Priyanka Jain caught up with Irrfan, and asked the actor about Angelina, Mira, and more. Read on.
