In between juggling his Bollywood and Hollywood assignments, actor Irrfan Khan seems to have made several friends in both the film industries. Having been a part of several successful films out there, including the Oscar-winner Slumdog Millionaire and the much-acclaimed A Mighty Heart and The Namesake, seem to have helped the actor become a popular name in H-Town too.

So much so, that the actor is now holding special shows of his Bollywood films for his firang friends. Earlier, the actor was reported to have arranged a special screening of his upcoming film Paan Singh Tomar for Hollywood actresses Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman and now the buzz is that Irrfan will soon be hosting a special show for his Spider-Man co-star and director as well.

According to a source, Irrfan, who will be seen in an important role in the spidey instalment, The Amazing Spider-Man, had been talking about his Indian film to the lead actor Andrew Garfield and director Marc Webb, when the two showed a keen interest in watching the film. “Both Andrew and Marc were apparently very intrigued about the story of this athlete-turned-dacoit that Irrfan is portraying. They expressed this to Irrfan, who decided to host a special screening of the film for them. He is likely to show them the film sometime later this month, after all the arrangements have been formalised,” says the source.

The source added that Irrfan has been quite thrilled with the response he’s been getting for this role even before the film’s release. “There has been a lot of buzz about this film, directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia. It was speculated that the film would release last year itself, after it premiered at the 2010 British Film Institute London Film Festival,” informed an industry insider.
