3) Steven Spielberg Movie
Irrfan also shot down the chance to work with another legendary director – Steven Spielberg! The film was rumoured to be ‘Robocalypse’ and was also going to feature Scarlett Johansson.
Irrfan rejected the role as it wasn’t meaty enough, though he expressed regret at having missed the opportunity to work with Scarlett Johansson.
“I didn’t feel the character offered to me gave me much scope. So I said ‘No’; though Scarlett Johansson is an actor I would have loved to share screen space with. I felt the character did not have enough meat to explore myself as an actor. Hence, I said ‘No’. Else who wouldn’t want to work with Steven Spielberg?” he had commented to NDTV.
