Irrfan
Khan's
name
has
often
cropped
up
to
play
eminent
poet-lyricist
Sahir
Ludhianvi
in
a
biopic.
The
actor
says
he
wants
to
essay
the
role
but
the
film
keeps
slipping
away
from
him.
While
Irrfan
was
first
rumoured
to
play
the
role
in
a
film
backed
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
reports
say
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Abhishek
Bachchan
have
also
been
approached
for
the
same
project.
"I
really
want
to
essay
Sahir's
character.
The
offer
comes
to
me
but
goes
away
again
and
again.
If
I
don't
get
the
role,
it's
okay.
I
will
carry
him
in
my
other
films
in
some
way
or
the
other,"
Irrfan
said
in
a
media
interaction
here.
Irrfan
said
Ludhianvi's
understanding
of
love
was
entirely
different
from
others.
"I've
been
fascinated
with
him
since
childhood.
Everyone
was
writing
romantic
songs,
'I'll
die
for
you,
build
Taj
Mahal
for
you'
but
he
talked
about
something
else
entirely,
which
was
equally
romantic," he
said.
While
there
is
no
clarity
on
the
project
as
yet,
Irrfan
is
awaiting
the
release
of
his
next
Qarib
Qarib
Single.
