Why Irrfan missed out on a Christopher Nolan film
Irrfan has revealed that turning down Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has been “one of the most difficult decisions” of his life. The actor has worked with Oscarwinning directors Ang Lee and Danny Boyle, but admits to disappointment at not getting to work with the Batman trilogy director.
Says Irrfan, “I was in talks with them for an important role. It had a great compact cast, but I can’t divulge much about that. They expected a huge commitment from my end. I had to stay in the US for four months at a stretch. I tried to work out my schedule and suggested if I could shuttle between India and the US as it wouldn’t have been possible for me to be there for that long. I wanted to be here for The Lunchbox and D-Day. They couldn’t allow that. I don’t have a tendency to regret what I do, but knowing it's a Christopher Nolan film, I can say that this has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve made.”
The cast comprises Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine, among others.
