Over the years, powerhouse actors Irrfan Khan and Tabu have worked in films as diverse as Life Of Pi (2012), Haider (2014) and Talvar (2015), but have been romantically paired only in two films so far — Vishal Bhardwaj’s Maqbool (2003) and Mira Nair’s The Namesake (2006).
Their third pairing will come in Balaji Motion Pictures’ next, directed by Anurag Singh, known as Punjabi cinema’s ‘hit machine’.
It’s common knowledge that Irrfan and Tabu don’t just share amazing screen chemistry, but are also very good friends off-screen. Irrfan has even called her his “2 am friend”.
Says a source in the know, “Tabu and Irrfan play an aged Sikh couple in the film. It’s a romantic comedy about re-discovering love and will be their journey from a young couple to an elderly one.”
