Irrfan and Anil's 2009 movie Slumdog Millionaire, directed by Danny Boyle, won numerous Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.
The film's director, Danny Boyle, also payed a tribute to Irrfan recently. Calling him a wonderful actor, Danny said that Irrfan was a pivotal figure in the making of Slumdog Millionaire. He said that Irrfan's role as a police officer was not a very big one on paper, but he guided the audience through his grace, dignity, charm, and calmness.
Irrfan breathed his last on April 29, 2020. The actor was battling neuroendocrine tumor for two years and had sought treatment for it in the United Kingdom.
Irrfan was last seen in the film Angrezi Medium, starring alongside Deepak Dobriyal, Radhika Madan, Pankaj Tripathi, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Dimple Kapadia. Directed by Homi Adajania, the film saw limited theatrical release due to the Coronavirus lockdown.
