BHARAT EK KHOJ ACTORS SERIES
After a series of small roles, Khan bagged the title role in the 2003 film Maqbool. In 2001, he appeared in the British filmmaker Asif Kapadia’s film The Warrior about a warrior from feudal Rajasthan. The actor has said in several interviews that he was heartbroken by the decision. The actor expected it to be his big break but unfortunately two days before the shoot, Nair uncast him and gave him a much smaller role. The actor along with Raghubir Yadav and street kids who were also selected for the film attended acting workshops organized by Nair. He was the only one in the batch to secure a film. He was close to bagging a feature film much before his role in Bharat Ek Khoj when in 1986 a 20-year-old Irrfan Khan who was still a student in the National School of Drama was selected for Mira Nair’s film Salaam Bombay (1988).

Khan started his career with television and debuted in Bharat Ek Khoj, a historical drama that was launched in 1988 in Doordarshan. The actor, however, had a long journey before he achieved fame. While Irrfan thought Ruffalo would leave without meeting him, the latter not only recognized him, but also praised his work. In fact in 2010, popular Hollywood actor Mark Ruffalo (who plays the character of Hulk in Marvel's Avenger franchise) met Irrfan especially to compliment him after being impressed by his work in Life Of Pi. New Delhi: Irrfan Khan is a known face not just in Bollywood but also internationally.
