Irrfan Khan refuses to participate in ‘Haider’ promotions
Vishal Bhardwaj�۪s ��Haider�۪ has taken the industry and fans by storm since the first trailer released. However, Irrfan Khan, who stars in the film, has refused to be a part of the film�۪s promotions, BizAsia has learnt.
Khan has a cameo role in the movie and, therefore, he doesn�۪t feel comfortable promoting the film. He doesn�۪t want a repeat situation of ��The Xpose�۪ (2014), in which he was seen in a special appearance, but appeared heavily in the promotions for the film. A friend told India Today, ���He did a guest appearance in Xpose. The makers had promised to keep his name and face out of the publicity. Irrfan was shocked to see he was featured prominently in the publicity�.
Khan himself gave comment, ���I have a guest appearance in Haider. I did it because I love Vishal’s work. And I wanted to be part of another Shakespearean adaptation by Vishal after Maqbool�.
��Haider�۪ is slated for release on 2nd October and has Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Tabu in the lead roles.
