A rumour that Irrfan Khan has opted out of Tigmashu Dhulia's under-production film leaving the production in the lurch, has the actor unamused.

"I haven't said no to Tishu (Tigmanshu). How can I? We've done two films together, and I enjoyed both immensely."

As of now Irrfan is still in the project. "But please understand that mine is only a special appearance in Shagird. There's therefore no question of my opting out because I only want to do leads. Yes, it's true I'm looking at lead roles now.

But that doesn't mean I'll be rigid about it and act pricey with friends. When have I ever done that? So yes, as of now I'm doing the special appearance in Tishu's provided we can work out my dates."
