Irrfan Khan is riding high after the success of Paan Singh Tomar, which got critical as well as commercial success. In spite of doing fewer films over the years, Khan is happy that he has been lucky enough to do films from different genres. In a brief conversation with Sonil Dedhia, the actor speaks about the movie, his work in Hollywood and explains why he has compromised by taking up some films.

How has your family reacted to your performance in Paan Singh Tomar? My kids (Babil and Ayan) found the film very inspiring; they really loved it. My mother and brothers also appreciated my work. The story of Paan Singh Tomar has touched everyone. More than praising me, people around me have blessed me with their wishes.

In an earlier interview, you said that you are planning to show the film to your Hollywood friends. Have they seen it? Yes, some of my friends in Hollywood have seen the film. They have immensely loved the film. Some of my acquaintances have written about the film on their blogs.
