Today Irrfan Khan’s one of the most loved films Paan Singh Tomar clocks 10 years. Irrfan received rave reviews for his ground-breaking performance in Tigmanshu Dhulia directorial. For his performance, the late actor received a National Award and the film was bestowed with the Best Feature Film Award at the 60th edition of the ceremony. While the film was lauded by one and all, it wasn’t an instantaneous success and was declared an average hit at the box office.
On the 10th anniversary of its release, let’s walk down memory lane and tell you about the time when Irrfan had spilled the beans about getting frustrated while shooting for the film.
During Irrfan Khan’s interview in 2017, Irrfan had told Film Companion, “While shooting Paan Singh Tomar, I was getting hurt so many times you wouldn’t believe it. And without any rhyme or reason. I am just walking and I miss a step, and suddenly my back goes. I mean my back is not fragile. I have done so many things, and I am not weak from my back, or a tennis ball hits my eye while playing a simple game of cricket on set. I tore my ligament during the shoot… so many incidents happened. So that film was testing me in a different way completely.”
