Irfan Khan to play a pivotal role in ‘Haider’

The talented Irrfan Khan has teamed up with Vishal Bharadwaj again as he has bagged a pivotal role in Vishal’s Shakespearean adaption ‘Haider’. Interestingly, Irrfan is said to be playing the role of a spirit in the Indian screen adaptation of Shakespearean play ‘Hamlet’. Irrfan, who has previously been a part of the Shakespearean trilogy in the form of ‘Maqbool’ (the adaptation of ‘Macbeth’) as the lead will now be seen in the role of Shahid’s assassinated father who instills him to avenge his death. Although his role will be a guest appearance, it is considered to be the turning point in the plot. Irrfan will start shooting for his role in the Kashmir valley sometime later this month. The film also stars Shraddha Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor and Tabu.
