By Times of India – Irrfan, warrior for great cinema, finds peace His eyes were multi-taskers. They could rage like a bushfire, be warm and tender like a grandma’s lap and convey the chaos inside a head for the world to see. Irrfan Khan, who passed away in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday, sourced his eyes — and that lean, gangly frame — to create a cache of unforgettable characters in both Bollywood and Hollywood. He was 53.

Shoojit Sircar, his director in ‘Piku’, broke the news on social media. “My dear friend Irrfan. You fought and fought and fought. I’ll always be proud of you…” Sircar wrote on Twitter.

In 2018, the Jaipur-born actor was diagnosed with a malignant neuroendocrine tumour. He underwent treatment in London and recovered to rejoin work last year. Irrfan’s latest, ‘Angrezi Medium’, was released days before the lockdown and shifted to an OTT platform.

His mother, Saeeda Begum, had passed away last week. Any actor would be proud to own a resume like him. ‘Haasil’, ‘Paan Singh Tomar’, ‘Maqbool’, ‘Life in a Metro’, ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘Hindi Medium’ are marked by sincerity of performance and po lished aesthetics that fetched him awards and applause. If Bollywood was his bread, Hollywood became his butter in the latter part of his glittering career.

Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
