Contemporary actor Irrfan Khan has signed an international project, a bilingual to be released in Bengali and English, titled 'No Bed of Roses'. He will also co-produce the film. Directed by Bangladeshi filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki, the movie also features Farooki's wife Nusrat Imroz Tisha in a pivotal role. Himanshu Dhanuka who is also co-producing the film with a Bangladeshi banner, said, “Farooki was keen on casting Irrfan because he is one of the finest performers in India. When we approached him, we were told that he is busy for the next two years but when we met him in January for a narration, he was so impressed that he immediately agreed to do the film.” Adding that the Indian actor plays a Bengali family man in the movie, Dhanuka said, “The story revolves around two families who find deeper meanings of love in the wake of a tragedy.”
