Filmy Friday: Irrfan Khan — the silent box office hunter

When we talk about the box office and male actors, names like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Ajay Devgn, Hrithik Roshan and more recently, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Tiger Shroff and similar other names of big stars come to mind. After all, they are the stars who deliver those big openings, and subsequently, mega grossers, right? And true as that may be, there's another actor in their midst who may not bring those smash openings or deliver those giant grossers, but consistent churns out hits and huge profit margins for his producers and distributors all the same. We're talking about Irrfan Khan, and let's tell you why he richly deserves the tag of 'silent box office hunter'...

After struggling for many years since the days of Salaam Bombay back in 1988, Irrfan Khan finally got the recognition he deserved with films like Haasil, Maqbool, Charas, Life in a Metro and Billu while slowly making his mark in Hollywood with substantial roles in films like A Mighty Heart, The Namesake and Slumdog Millionaire something very few Indian actors can boast of.
