National Award-winning filmmaker Shoojit Sircar honored the late acclaimed star Irrfan Khan on his sixth death anniversary by sharing behind-the-scenes moments from the 2015 movie “Piku”.
Shoojit posted a video from the making of “Piku”, a film that also features Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. The clip showcased some light-hearted moments of Irrfan during the filming.
In a career spanning over three decades, Irrfan Khan was known for his work in Indian, British, and American cinema. He was widely recognized as one of the finest actors globally.
Irrfan Khan, who received accolades like the National Film Award and the Padma Shri, announced in 2018 that he had been diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer. After seeking treatment in the UK, he returned to India in 2019.
His final film, “Angrezi Medium,” directed by Homi Adajania, was a comedy-drama and a standalone sequel to “Hindi Medium.” The movie, which also stars Radhika Madan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, marked his last on-screen appearance.
