Actor-Writer-Director Tigmanshu Dhulia (known for films like Paan Singh Tomar, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, Haasil and Charas) shared an interesting memory when he served tea to Shah Rukh Khan.
Honouring the late Irrfan Khan's enduring legacy, a compelling documentary A Story That Refused to Die, chronicling his transformative journey during the making of Paan Singh Tomar, is set to be screened at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre on his sixth death anniversary.
If only Pati Patni Aur Woh Do were as funny as its director intended it to be, that would have been reason to celebrate, notes Sreeju Sudhakaran.
'In my childhood, I used to sing the song Thande Thande Paani Se Nahana Chahiye. That song convinced me to do this film.'
Dhulia, who was widely applauded for his role in Gangs Of Wasseypur, will be seen in Ketan Mehta's biopic Mountain Man.
'(Mahesh) Bhattsaab had wisely recommended him for the lead role, but I was young and stubborn then, and would instinctively push back against a producer's suggestion. I insisted on casting Shiney Ahuja as Daya Shankar. While he was excellent, in retrospect, I realise Irrfan would have taken the character to a different level altogether.'
Rimi Sen: 'Even today, Salman Khan or Shah Rukh Khan rule Bollywood but the heroines who started with them are now doing supporting roles, playing sisters or even mothers. A woman's lifespan in the film industry is very short.'
The actor was buried at the Versova Kabarstan in north west Mumbai.
