One of the handful of Bollywood actors to have made an impact in the West, Irrfan Khan has done films like 'Slumdog Millionaire', 'Life of Pi', 'Jurassic Park', 'The Amazing Spiderman', and his latest with Tom Hanks, 'Inferno'. While the Indian film industry does not let the smallest of news on Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra pass by unnoticed, Khan has not received that much love during his career.
While Hollywood remains unimpressed by Ron Howard's 'Inferno', they had received Khan with much love. "Even so, there's just time for Irrfan Khan (Jurassic World) to have some fun (nice to see someone enjoying themselves, at least) with his shady Provost character who sweeps in to explain away great gaps of plot, the plodding unpicking of which we then have to sit through, again, reminding us just how ridiculously dull the past two hours have indeed been," said The Wrap, in a review of the movie.
IGN wrote, "The increasing prominence of quality international actors like Sidse Babett Knudsen and the ever-twinkling Irrfan Khan (Life of Pi, Jurassic World) makes for a much smoother ride."
Maybe it's about time India took a cue from the US and gave artists their due credit?
