Versatile Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan was in for a surprise when he was welcomed in Budapest with a special request by well known Hollywood star Tom Hanks. The message read, “This will be the most pleasant movie to make, I think, provided you and I have a few more scenes together! If not, we will just have to save the world as is!”

Irrfan, who arrived in Budapest will soon start shooting for “Inferno.” The film is the third film in the franchise that launched with the Da Vinci Code in 2006, and continued with Angels and Demons in 2009. An adaptation of Dan Brown's eponymous novel, the movie has Ron Howard returning to the director's chair and Hanks playing the lead, Robert Langdon.

Robert finds himself in a hospital room in Venice as well as the target of a manhunt. With the help of Sienna, a nurse, and his knowledge of symbology, he will try to escape while they have to solve the most intricate riddle Robert has ever faced.

Irrfan will play Provost, the head of a shadowy group that involves themselves with Robert, while Sy will play the leader of a disease prevention team.
