Daily Digital Desk News: Irfan Khan passed away prematurely. He had a lot to give to Indian cinema and world cinema. He is an actor who was offered the role of Jawaharlal Nehru. This news has come out recently. British director Joe Wright (husband of Anushka Shankar) is known to have submitted such an offer to Irfanak. I wanted to make a movie called ‘Indian Summer’ based on Alex von Tunzelman’s book. There he offered Irfan to play the role of Nehru. Irfan also agreed. But in the end the film was suspended. The actor also regretted this.

The film was supposed to be based on the relationship between Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten. Kate Blanchett would play Lady Mountbatten. Hugh Grant was offered the role of her husband, Lord Mountbatten. Everything was going well. The movie could have been released by now. Irfan was quite excited about the movie. Although it was not similar to Nehru’s appearance, he wanted to reflect his reflection in his own performance. “Indian actors dream of playing the role of Jawaharlal Nehru or Mahatma Gandhi,” he said. However, few people have that opportunity. I will try to shape the character through my personality. When I left NSD, I played the role of Lenin at the age of 21. “

But the Indian government demanded approval of the script. They even asked for promises from the director that he would not see any kiss scenes between Nehru and Edwina Mountbatten. Meanwhile, the film’s budget exceeded $ 30-40 million. And finally the project stalled. “We are going through a difficult time,” said Joe Wright. The Indian government wants us to show love stories as little as possible. And Studio (Universal) wants to show that more. “As a result, Hugh Grant and Cate Blanchett began to focus on other films. Irfan Khan also broke up when the image was suspended.

Irfan was always careful with acting. He didn’t even ask a director like Steven Spielberg to act. He had a chance to work alongside Scarlett Johansson on that movie. But the actor felt that there are not many opportunities to act in the film. He also made a small scene in the 2012 movie The Amazing Spider-Man with great care. But Irfan’s biggest regret will probably be for Christopher Nolan’s ‘interstellar’. He had to stay in the United States for four long months for this movie. But then the filming of ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘D-Day’ continues. As a result, he was unable to remain in the United States for four months. The actor then said, “It was a difficult decision in my life.”
