Irrfan goes on a dream date with Michelle Yeoh... Contd.

Grand reception

Talking about the reception that A Mighty Heart got at Cannes, Irrfan says, "The reception was overwhelming. People didn't stop clapping even after the film ended.

Mariane wasn't there to see the film but she came to the red carpet event with her son, Adam."

Irrfan adds that it was a challenging for him to play this role as it was based on a real incident. He says, "I couldn't meet any person around whom my character was based.

I am playing a Pakistani intelligence officer. Whatever information I could gather was solely on my instincts and the written role."
