Irrfan Khan Death Anniversary: Hollywood Movies Rejected By Him
3) Steven Spielberg Movie
Irrfan also shot down the chance to work with another legendary director – Steven Spielberg! The film was rumoured to be ‘Robocalypse’ and was also going to feature Scarlett Johansson.
Irrfan rejected the role as it wasn’t meaty enough, though he expressed regret at having missed the opportunity to work with Scarlett Johansson.
“I didn’t feel the character offered to me gave me much scope. So I said ‘No’; though Scarlett Johansson is an actor I would have loved to share screen space with,” he had commented.
4) Body Of Lies
Director Ridley Scott had also approached Irrfan Khan for a role in the action-thriller ‘Body Of Lies’, starring Leonardo Di Caprio and Russell Crowe.
“I was hoping to do The Martian and Piku but the schedule did not permit. I hope to work with Ridley Scott again. It was a second miss as I was earlier supposed to work with him in Body of Lies but that also did not work out.” Irrfan had told India Today.
