ETCHED IN OUR MEMORIES...

“I wont be surprised if somebody in future brings out a chip to put in your eyes or your hair with a switch on and off button.” laughs the immensely talented and one of the most versa tile actors of our industry, Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan.

His tech gyaan can definitely be mesmerizing and convincing beyond a point. He sees technology only as a small part of life, which could possibly; only make things convenient for us. He doesn’t talk much but when he does you can actually feel resemblance to his on screen characters. Dominantly, his art does most of the talking for him. Started his Journey from Salaam Bombay to Jazbaa, giving us some wonderful movies like the Namesake, Life Of Pi, Jurrassic Wold, The Lunchbox, Piku, this fine actor has taken Indian cinema altogether to new altitudes.

We couldn’t help breaking into the make up room and have a tech chat with this superbly skilled personality. What makes him so perfect in whatever he does? Lets find out.

You seem to disappear into characters you play; do you put in a lot of research into every role?

Not always. It depends. If the role requires research, I do. I also get into discussions with my director. But most of my work, I do by instinct. I go by my instinct. Sometimes however, I do prepare for certain roles.

Which has been your best project till date and why?
