Here's How Irrfan Khan Can Cause Envy To Every Actor In Country!

So by now it is of little doubt what a talent Irrfan Khan is. It has got to a point he is not even ignored or underrated. He frequently wins awards and his movies – which a lot of times now star him in the lead – do really well at the box office. Slowly but surely, he has a carved out a place for himself in the industry and is one of the most recognised actors that our country possesses.

Both in India and globally, he has consistently appeared in all sorts of films over the past couple of decades. And with that, he has taken up more and more challenging roles. His filmography has become such that it could easily cause envy to the actors working alongside him. 

But the thing that is most remarkable about him is not how many films he has been part of. It is not even how he has made impressive set of films in both Bollywood and Hollywood or the memorable roles he has played. It is the great variety of characters he has played. 

It’s an actor’s job to become someone else and Irrfan has done that over to over again.

So here’s proof of how he really is the most versatile actor in the country:

He doesn't just play negative roles sometimes; he has been every form of villian!

He has been an evil student gang leader (Haasil). He has been the local crime boss (Aan: Men At Work). He has been an underworld don (Maqbool). He has been a terrorist (Haider). Obviously, the list goes on.

He doesn't only break laws but protects and enforces them.

CBI officer, ACP, Inspector, FBI official are some of the ranks that Irrfan has proudly held.

From a small-time entreprenuer to visionary billionare.

He had a taxi business in Piku and built a dinosaur amusement park in Jurassic World. 

There isn't a profession he hasn't taken up.

Government official, public prosecutor, doctor, college professor... he has dabbled in various professions.

He has followed every creed, caste and religion.

Such has been Irrfan Khan's journey that he has come across all kinds of roles. He has not only played characters of all major religions in the country but his characters are from all over the country –  he played a role of Bengali immigrant in Hollywood film the Namesake and Madhya Pradesh's baaghi in Paan Singh Tomar.

Common man

What's, perhaps, the most frequent character Irrfan has played is that of a common man – something not many stars can claim. His roles have a certain ordinariness about them. Same can be seen in Madaari that releases next month.
