Ace filmmaker Shoojit Sircar who directed the late actor in the 2015 film Piku recently spoke about Irrfan during a conversation with the ETimes. He opened about his bond with Irrfan, how his loss affected him and more.


Shoojit said Irrfan's demise left a vacuum and was the biggest loss to the film industry in 2020. 'I wish him luck and joy wherever he is in his magical world that he would always speak about. I guess he is finally in his magical world,' Shoojit said. The director also remembered Irrfan’s spirit, his simplicity and belief in humanity.
