Irrfan Khan Desperate To Have An Image Makeover  Irrfan Khan |
Bollywood actor, Irrfan Khan, who had essayed the role of an inspector in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and a FBI cop in ‘New York’, has admitted that he wants to break his serious image.
"I'm consciously breaking away from an image since the day I started my acting career," said Irrfan.
"When I was working on TV, everybody used to make me a doctor. Then I was sick of playing a doctor. In films, they used to cast me as a sober and sensitive guy. But that wasn't exciting because playing filmy 'shareef' (innocent) is so boring”.
"Then they gave me villain's roles. Then I did comedy. So it's a continuous effort not to get typecast. So I have been fighting from getting typecast since the beginning and I will continue doing it," he added.
The ace actor has essayed variety of roles in movies like ‘Salaam Bombay’, ‘Maqbool’, ‘Life In A Metro’, ‘The Namesake’, ‘Dil Kabaddi’ and ‘New York’. He has disclosed that he is very keen to do adventurous movies as they do not typecast an actor.
His forthcoming releases include ‘Acid Factory’ and ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, which are both action-based movies.
