"Paan Singh Tomar would have never thought, long after him, he'll become a symbol," said actor Irrfan, who is riding the wave of appreciation of his biopic on the athlete from Morena in Madhya Pradesh. The film opened to generally positive responses from critics all across the country and Irrfan's interpretation of Paan Singh, an award-winning runner who turned rebel in Chambal, praised.
Actor Amitabh Bachchan had high praise for the film as he tweeted: "Paan Singh Tomar": a stupendous film .. Tighmanshu Dhulia and Irrfan you are exceptional gentlemen ..many more laurels for you !"Irrfan's tweets reflected his relief after he won over audiences with his performance: "So fortunate to be in a time when the audience is ready and asking for a change! Fortunate pst chose us to complete his race. Or we Chose him to Complete his race. Who knows!"
"I want to send the message to PST's family that PST has become a voice for unsung heroes," he said.In an interview with the actor prior to the release of the film Irrfan spoke about his career, his international projects, his children and the hard work he put in for PST.
It's surprisingly easy to pin down Irrfan even on his busiest day before the release of his film Paan Singh Tomar for a telephone chat. He will talk to you for as long as you want if you do not mind the chomping sounds over the phone as he grabs a quick bite to eat in between interviews.The actor, with his unconventional look and solid stage and television training, is perhaps the most unassuming Khan in the Indian film industry where stars are often famous for being famous and superstardom is a family legacy. He is also the most underrated, though he vehemently disagrees.
"I am Irrfan, just Irrfan. I have taken out Khan from my name quite some time ago," the actor said from Mumbai. "I do not want to be known by my religion, surname or lineage. I don't want to be recognised for what my forefathers did." The actor, whose name is Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan, says likes the sound of the two 'R's as they roll on the tongue. "I always thought ' Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan' was too pompous."
