Actor Irrfan Khan says if he was given a chance, he would want many superpowers, including one to be able to time travel and change the thinking of people like Adolf Hitler.

"I want to have a power where I could die consciously and see life beyond death and come back (to life) again. I want to time travel and want to have the power to change people's thinking. Like if I had the power to change Hitler's mind, I would force him to follow Gandhism or make him love Jews. There are so many politicians, if I could change their mind, I would love to do that," Irrfan said.

He spoke during a rapid-fire round while launching a Johnston & Murphy store here on Friday.

The actor was also asked to choose one favourite director between Tigmangshu Dhulia and Vishal Bhardwaj. He said it is tough as both are very important to him.

Irrfan, 49, picked Tom Hanks as favourite actor. They have worked together in "Inferno".
