Irrfan Khan
The actor’s wife Sutapa Sikdar revealed at the book launch for Irrfan Khan: A Life in Movies, how Irrfan Khan would improvise specific situations in films. Sutapa recalled an instance when Irrfan created a scene on the fly while filming Piku. Amitabh Bachchan was first upset by this, but eventually, they grew close and everything was good.
Irrfan would collaborate with the director and writer, according to Sutapa. By the time they were through, they would have numerous draughts, and when he would go on stage, he would improvise somewhat. He would never improvise just to grab attention, but he would make an effort to subvert the phrase in some way. Sutapa, who is also a well-known writer, recalled a chat she had with Piku director Shoojit Sircar. Shoojit explained to Sutapa that Bachchan Saab is very organised and well-prepared when he shows there, but Irrfan improvised and angered Bachchan Saab. They subsequently grew close.
Sutapa stated that the entire sequence was improvised when discussing the intermission scene, and Shubhra added, “Shoojit said he did not have the courage to cut it.” Shubhra further remembered Shoojit once stating, “I would sometimes even be afraid of saying ‘Cut’ when I was directing Irrfan [on the set of] Piku.” The furious dispute between Deepika, Irrfan, and Big B’s characters when they were stranded on a highway occurred during the intermission.
The date of Irrfan’s passing was April 29, 2020. The actor was identified as having a neuroendocrine tumour before passing away from a colon infection. The Pan Macmillan India publication Irrfan Khan: A Life in Movies, penned by Shubhra Gupta, had its Delhi debut on Sunday.
