Irrfan lends voice to tableau in R-Day parade

    It will be for the first time that a tableau celebrating 100 years of cinema will be part of the Republic Day parade. And Irrfan has done the voiceover for it. Information and Broadcasting secretary Uday K Varma said, “Ideally, we wanted all the actors to participate in it, but that was not materialising. So there will be lookalike of all superstars of the film industry.”
    A source said, “Film stars are usually not on time and therefore it was not practically possible for them to stay on till the end of the parade. As per rules and security reasons nobody would be allowed to step out. So that’s also why lookalikes have replaced them.”
It is learnt that it was
Yash Chopra who was initially given the responsibility of the tableau. But after his demise NFDC (National Film Development Corporation) was handed over the job. Source say that popular characters from Indian cinema from films like Coolie, Awara, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Ganga Jamuna will be part of the tableau.
