Actor Irrfan Khan has decided to move out of his house on Madh Island here and shift to his new house in Andheri this year itself.

The actor, who has earned international recognition with his work in films like "Slumdog Millionaire", "Life of Pi" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", is shifting to the new house due to commuting issues.

Irrfan always had to leave much earlier to reach the sets, dubbing studios or even the airport. However, the new house will save him time as it is more centrally located. The "Talvar" star's new pad has four bedrooms and is located in the prime Andheri location of Oshiwara, read a statement.

The new house is spacious and has a huge terrace while the interiors are currently being done and will be contemporary in taste.

The actor bought his new house around March this year and is likely to shift to the new home in the last week of December.

The actor, however, will keep visiting his Madh Island house whenever possible.

While his spokesperson confirmed the news, another source close to the actor shared that "Irrfan is currently on a family vacation in Rajasthan post which he will start shooting for Anup Singh's film".
