Irrfan Khan is undoubtedly the finest actors we have in Hindi cinema and is one of the best entertainers on screen. He has amazed Bollywood as well as the west with his simplicity yet powerful acting which makes him stand apart from the rest. His upcoming Hollywood movie `Inferno` along with Tom Hanks is the most awaited movie of the year and the audiences are eagerly waiting Irrfan to nail it on the silver screen.

Tom Hanks is a good friend of the actor and despite of both being the best in their areas of work Tom Hanks was privileged to work with him and stated that while working with him he felt he was working with the Indian version of Sir Laurence Olivier or Sean Connery which is a huge compliment for an actor. This indeed proves the level of acting the actor has reached. Tom also mentioned how Irrfan has a different aura around him and its always a delight working with an actor who has excelled in his area of work and is a superstar in his respective country as well as in the west.


Tom said, " Bollywood has emerged into a very modern and vibrant film society. I must say, when I was told that Irrfan is going to be in this movie, I felt like it was working with the Indian version of Sir Laurence Olivier or Sean Connery or somebody who is a giant in his culture. So, we as actors had more in common because of that than the differences."

The actors bonded really well on the sets and have shared some great experiences of working together.
