While
the
West
has
just
honoured
his
global
contribution
with
a
3-page
spread
in
Time
magazine
Irrfan
Khan
has
had
enough
of
being
taken
for
granted
at
home.
In
fact
rumour
has
it
he
isn"t
too
pleased
being
cast
by
Vishal
Bhardwaj
as
one
of
Priyanka
Chopra"s
seven
husbands
in
Saat
Khoon
Maaf
and
was
in
two
minds
about
the
part
until
Vishal
persuaded
him
and
assured
him
that
the
supposedly
saleable
John
Abraham
and
the
distinguished
Naseeruddin
Shah
and
Mohanlal
are
also
part
of
Priyanka
Chopra"s
harem
in
Saat
Khoon
Maaf.
Irrfan
has
finally
relented.
Barely
concealing
his
sarcasm
the
actor
described
by
Time
as
“the
one
who
can
do
it
all" says,
“Whether
it"s
Dibakar
Banerjee,
Shimit
Amin
,
Anurag
Basu,
Anurag
Kashyap
or
Vishal
Bhardwaj
they
all
make
the
kind
of
films
that
suit
my
sensibilities
perfectly.
But
they
have
all
moved
to
another
phase
in
their
career.
The
Vishal
that
I
worked
with
when
I
played
the
lead
in
Maqbool
is
not
the
same
filmmaker
who"s
making
Saat
Khoon
Maaf.
He
needs
commercially
viable
stars
for
the
budget
that
his
films
now
need.
And
let"s
be
fair
I"m
not
commercially
viable
enough
to
make
a
difference
to
project."
Evading
the
spell
of
bitterness
Irrfan
says,
“Vishal
and
I
kept
missing
each
other.
Finally
I
spoke
to
him
in
Mussourrie
the
other
day
.He"s
writing
the
script
there.
Yes
I"d
love
to
be
killed
by
Priyanka
Chopra.
Which
man
wouldn"t?"
The
truth
is,
Irrfan
is
not
too
happy
with
the
fact
that
directors
whose
art
and
creativity
he
trusts
are
coming
to
him
with
secondary
roles.
Even
the
much
talked-about
Hisss
is
actually
a
Mallika
Sherawat
vehicle.
When
asked
about
its
much-delayed
release
Irrfan
explains,
“Out
here
they
don"t
really
understand
the
international
market.
I
think
the
Indian
producers
of
Hisss
have
got
it
right.
They
plan
to
market
it
as
an
exotic
mysterious
product
from
the
Orient.
To
get
into
the
Western
market
the
Indian
producer
Govind
Menon
has
now
invited
a
Hollywood
studio
to
take
the
film
to
the
American
audience."
