What Movies Irrfan Khan Would Have Done If He Was Alive? Wife Sutapa Sikdar Reveals: ‘Diljit Dosanjh…’

On the fourth anniversary of Irrfan Khan's passing, his wife and screenwriter Sutapa Sikdar shared a touching tribute on Instagram. In an imaginary dialogue, Sutapa envisioned a conversation she might have had with Irrfan if he were still alive, detailing potential collaborations and projects he would have been interested in.

Sutapa imagined that Irrfan would have been eager to work with Diljit Dosanjh, expressing his admiration for the actor's performance in Imtiaz Ali's musical biopic Amar Singh Chamkila. She wrote that Irrfan would have immediately called Dinesh Vijan, the producer of his films Hindi Medium and Angrezi Medium, to develop a project with Diljit.

In her imagined conversation, Sutapa also pictured Irrfan listening to the film's music, composed by AR Rahman, and praising Irshad Kamil's lyrics, particularly in the climactic song Vida Karo. She even suggested that Irrfan might have considered reprising his role as a Sardar from Anup Singh's Qissa to work alongside Diljit in a film.

Additionally, Sutapa playfully suggested that if "Bollywood doesn’t mend its way," Irrfan would have ventured into Malayalam cinema. She mentioned that he would have referenced a director known for helming Fahadh Faasil movies and would have instructed his manager to make it happen.
