Legendary actor Irrfan Khan, passed away on 29 April last year, leaving the film fraternity feeling hollow.
Today is the 54th birth anniversary of the talented actor who carved his niche in both Bollywood and Hollywood.
Irrfan is known for his work in Hollywood for films like ‘Life of Pi’ and ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’. Did you know he rejected these 4 Hollywood Movies? Take a look:
1) Interstellar
Irrfan Khan had turned down one of the biggest names in Hollywood – Christopher Nolan!
Back in 2013, Irrfan revealed that he had made the tough decision of saying no to Nolan’s epic sci-fi film ‘Interstellar’ as he had already made a prior commitment to ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘D-Day’.
He had told TOI – “They expected a huge commitment from my end. I had to stay in the US for four months at a stretch. I tried to work out my schedule and suggested if I could shuttle between India and the US as it wouldn’t have been possible for me to be there for that long. I wanted to be here for The Lunchbox and D-Day. They couldn’t allow that. I don’t have a tendency to regret what I do, but knowing it’s a Christopher Nolan film, I can say that this has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve made.”
Interstellar went on to make an impressive box office collection of $701.8 million.
