Irrfan, who was last seen onscreen in `Jazbaa` alongside Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, played the role of CBI officer Arun Kumar in `Talvar`, which was based on the 2008 murder of 14-year-old Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic servant Hemraj.

`@ShoojitSircar: #Talvar ..and @irrfan_k you r just terrific..Undoubtedly you are one of the best actor we have..And you are my superstar too,` he tweeted.
Irrfan will also be seen in Hollywood film `Inferno` alongside Tom Hanks.
