Actor discus­ses claim to fame, workin­g in Pakist­an and never lookin­g backDUBAI: Indian actor Irrfan Khan was recently and rightfully granted the DIFF Honorary Award at the Dubai International Film Festival 2017. Khan’s film Song of Scorpions alongside Golshifteh Farahani was screened at the Dubai International Film Festival, and unsurprisingly received tremendous applause and acclaim. “I never look back,” says Irrfan with categorical surety, elucidating, “When I go back to my hometown sometimes, those associations with that city force me to look back. He answered, “I would love to work in Pakistan. I didn’t like that space as an artist, therefore it didn’t work out.”But if – and that’s a big what if – the cross-border tensions get better?
