Mumbai: Indian actor Irrfan Khan has refused a part in a Steven Spielberg film because he didn’t find “enough meat to explore” himself as an actor.
“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?” Khan said in a statement.
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson is in the cast of the film offered to the Slumdog Millionaire and Life of Pi actor.
Sharing that it is more than a dilemma for him to choose or deny films, Khan said: “I am at a stage in my career where I am trying my best to surprise my audience with every role and give them some. I am hoping the future holds something so path-breaking and so empowering for me as an artist that no will not be an option.”
Irrfan Khan: Thanks but, no, thanks.
