Known for his remarkable ability to bring depth to every role, Irrfan Khan earned a special place in the hearts of millions. From Maqbool and Slumdog Millionaire to The Namesake, Life in a Metro, The Lunchbox, and Jurassic World, his filmography stands as a testament to his extraordinary talent.
Irrfan Khan took his last breath on April 29, 2020, at Mumbai鈥檚 Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital after a brave fight against neuroendocrine tumour. Reportedly, this type of cancer is hard to diagnose and treat because its symptoms are similar to less serious illnesses.
Recently, Subhash Ghai accused modern-day actors-turned-producers of lacking both creative and business acumen while also calling out the industry for neglecting key contributors like writers and composers.
Speaking to Komal Nahta on Game Changers, Ghai lamented the industry鈥檚 shift from collaborative filmmaking to a fractured system driven by inflated budgets and corporate interests. 鈥淲hen a film can be made for Rs 100 but is instead stretched to Rs 1,000, those extra Rs 900 become an open invitation for financial exploitation. Filmmaking once thrived on passion and efficiency鈥攏ow, it鈥檚 all about compartmentalization, with multiple departments working in silos and no one focused on keeping costs in check,鈥 he remarked.
