In Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'The Killing Of A Porn Filmmaker', Irrfan will star as a porn director, a real lowdown sleaze ball who indulges in the lowliest of porn filmmaking.
Tigmanshu Dhulia reveals: "We are talking about a guy who plants secret cameras in toilets, shoots honeymooning couples with hidden cameras...Irrfan plays the supreme of sleaze." But there is a redemptive graph to the character.
Tigmanshu Dhula further said: "Irrfan's character redeems himself. He rises from the depths of sleaze and emerges a hero...why and how, I can't reveal. But after our collaboration in 'Paan Singh Tomar', this would be a completely new world."
The film in English and Hindi would star a major international actor alongside Irrfan. It would also touch on the theme of racism.
Irrfan and Tigmanshu Dhulia have earlier collaborated on 'Charas', 'Haasil' and 'Sahib Bibi Aur Gangster Returns'. They were to also collaborate on 'Bullett Raja'. Irrfan's role was finally done by Vidyut Jamwal.
Tigmanshu Dhulia said: "Irrfan and I actually started working on 'The Killing Of A Porn Filmmaker' right after 'Charas' in 2004. We shot for a week and then the producer played truant. We are all set to revive the project in 2014."
Irrfan has begun to prepare for his porn filmmaker's role. He has been reading up on perverts who plant cameras in private places and their modus operandi.
