Internationally acclaimed Indian actor Irrfan Khan made his debut on Instagram on Monday and shared throwback photos in which he recreated a few iconic poses from Bollywood.
Khan shared a few black-and-white images on his official Instagram account, which had more than 9,500 followers late Tuesday.
The first image shows a young Khan and his friend recreating the Sholay pose, the one where veteran actor Dharmendra sits on Amitabh Bachchan’s shoulders and plays the harmonica.
The actor captioned the image: “This is our poster inspired by the Sholay poster. Filmy Influence.”
In the second photograph, Khan can be seen riding a horse, dressed like late superstar Rajesh Khanna.
“Somebody told me that to be an actor you must know horse riding... So whenever I went to ride (or learn to ride — which I didn’t at that time), I made it a point that when I sat on the horse... My look would be inspired by Rajesh Khannaji... Hero toh banna hi tha! [Had to become a hero some day] Filmy Influence,” Khan captioned it.
On the work front, Khan’s Hindi Medium is doing brisk business at the box office courtesy its positive word of mouth publicity.
