Touching Scenes from the Classic Movie Remind Us of Irrfan Khan’s Everlasting Legacy

In honor of the late actor Irrfan Khan’s 58th birthday, Shoojit Sircar, the celebrated director of Piku, shared a unique behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the movie. The video, which was shared on Sircar’s social media, highlights Irrfan’s unparalleled charm and commitment to his art while providing a unique look into the friendship amongst the cast members, which includes Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan.

Irrfan’s legendary portrayal of Rana Chaudhary, a quiet but lovable character who added nuance and humor to Piku’s touching story, is brought back to life in the video. The late actor’s contributions to Indian and worldwide cinema were celebrated with emotional tributes from fans and colleagues.

Irrfan Khan is recognized for his amazing range and the honesty he offered to every part. He died in 2020 after a fight with a rare illness. Irrfan’s work continues to inspire performers all over the world, from international hits like Life of Pi and The Lunchbox to financial successes like Hindi Medium and Piku.

“Irrfan was a storyteller in his own way—on and off-screen,” said Shoojit Sircar, who had a close relationship with the late actor and expressed his appreciation for him. He made a lasting impression on our emotions as much as on film.

Additionally, the BTS video serves as a reminder of Piku’s enduring appeal. The film, which was released in 2015, masterfully examined issues of love, family, and accountability. Irrfan’s subtle depiction of Rana was essential in bridging the gap between the humor and emotion in the movie.

Irrfan Khan’s legacy continues to inspire future generations of filmmakers and moviegoers as they re-watch his iconic work on this momentous day. Shoojit Sircar reminds us why Irrfan was and will always be a once-in-a-lifetime artist with this moving homage.
