Mumbai:
Actor Irrfan Khan says he wants to do a children's film and explore different "shades of love" through cinema. With projects like
Paan Singh Tomar,
Talvar,
Maqbool, and
7 Khoon Maaf, Irrfan has carved a name for himself in Hindi cinema. He has gradually established himself in the West too. The actor has been associated with foreign films like
The Namesake,
Life of Pi,
A Mighty Heart,
The Amazing Spider-Man and
Inferno - which will premiere on the Indian small screen on September 24.
"I want to do
a movie where I can entertain kids, like Jurassic World. I want to engage kids and younger generation. I want to do a film which is about love, which I did in
Piku and
The Lunchbox. I would love to explore different shades of love and romance," Irrfan said during the promotions of
Inferno in Singapore.
"So, there are a few areas which you (I) want to explore. There are real-life characters which I would like to play, but I will not name them," he said, adding that there is no horror cinema and political cinema in India.
Irrfan joined Hollywood actor Tom Hanks in his quest to save the world on the silver screen in Oscar-winning director Ron Howard's film
Inferno. Talking about the film, Irrfan said: "Working with cinematic legends like Tom Hanks and Ron Howard
was an incredible experience. The overwhelming response that we got in the theatres was amazing."
