Angelina Jolie sends heartfelt condolences to Irrfan's family
Irrfan was India's first and biggest export to Hollywood. And he did all this without making any clamor about invading the West, and instead let his work do the talking.
Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie, who was the legend's co-star in A Mighty Heart(2007), has expressed her condolences on the demise of Indian actor Irrfan Khan, in a special message.
"I had the privilege of working with Irrfan Khan on the set of A Mighty Heart. He stood out for his generosity as an artist, which made it a pleasure to work in any scene with him. I remember the intensity of his commitment, and equally his smile. I send my condolences and my sympathy to his family, his friends, and all admirers of his work, in India and around the world," Jolie said in her message.
A Mighty Heart is a 2007 drama directed by Michael Winterbottom based on the 2003 memoir of the same name by Mariane Pearl. The film accounts for the aftermath of the kidnapping of Marianne's journalist husband Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, and his subsequent beheading by the kidnappers.
The critically-acclaimed film was screened out of competition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and is widely considered one of the earliest films to train the global spotlight on Irrfan Khan.
