In Anil Senior's Dil Kabbaddi which is almost complete, Irrfan Khan and Rahul Bose are playing each other's roles. Explains Rahul, "I found Irrfan's role was more interesting. The one that I was offered was similar to what I had done before.

Me playing the cool executive type would've been predictable whereas me playing the professor's role that was first offered to Irrfan sounded more challenging. Normally you'd associate Irrfan more with the scholarly roles.Irrfan is now playing cockier the role. I've done cocky before."

But there's more. Rahul had originally been offered the role he finally played. "When I told the makers that I wanted to think over it they went and offered the role to Irrfan. Then when I was willing to do the role that I liked Irrfan very graciously stepped into the other role."

Irrfan who's currently shooting for Suparn Verma's Acid Factory admits he swapped roles with Rahul.

"The part that I'm now doing is that of an immoral man who's very honest about his basic instincts. I found that more interesting than the other part of the professor. The scholarly role I've already done in The Namesake."

Also, it may be added here that Irrfan gets to pair with Soha Ali Khan whom he has never worked with before.
