Irrfan_KhanNew Delhi, Sep 2: Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan is all set to work with ace actor Naseeruddin Shah in "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" sequel.

The 46-year-old actor, who worked with Shah in "Maqbool" and "Yun Hota Toh Kya Hota" (where Shah was the director), said he is looking forward to the opportunity.

The duo are National School of Drama (NSD) graduates.

"Naseer bhai was my senior in NSD. Working again with an actor of such a stature would be a nice experience in itself. The film will also give a chance to work on a good script. We will start shooting in a month or two," Irrfan told PTI.

The "D Day" star will be reprising the character Sudhir Mishra (played by actor Ravi Baswani) in the reboot of the hit 1983 comedy "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro", which was directed by Kundan Shah.

"It was Kundan Shah's one of the best films. I will be playing the role of late actor Ravi Baswani," he added.

Irrfan feels that the Hindi Film industry is going through a good phase and movies are getting appreciation even from the international audience.

"A good movie is such that it touches hearts by crossing the boundaries of world, color and language and forces you think about those issues which you had not paid attention to earlier," he said.

Irrfan, who won National award for "Paan Singh Tomar", said his film has motivated others to make movies on the lives of sportsmen.

"Now, we are making film on sportsperson like Mary Kom and Dhyan Chand," he said.

Mumbai, Jun 4: Casting director Krish Kapur, who had worked on films like Mahesh Bhatt's Jalebi and Kriti Kharbanda-starrer Veere Ki Wedding, passed away at the age of 28 due to brain hemorrhage, his family said.

There was speculation that Kapur died in a road accident but his maternal uncle, Sunil Bhalla, dismissed the reports, saying that the casting director fainted at his home in suburban Mira Road here and suffered brain hemorrhage.

According to Bhalla, Kapur breathed his last on May 31.

"He had no medical history. He was healthy and doing absolutely fine. On May 31, he just collapsed and started to bleed. He died of brain hemorrhage," Bhalla said on Wednesday.

Kapur is survived by his mother, wife and seven-year-old child.

Washington, May 18: Joining hands with the European Commission, actor Leonardo DiCaprio launched the Virunga Fund with seed money of USD 2 million to support Africa's Virunga National Park.

Since Virunga has lost a significant amount of revenue due to COVID shutdown post-March, the fund will be used to support the national park and the communities around, reported Variety.

The fund is aimed at disease prevention efforts, protection of mountain gorilla, and other species.

"I had the great honor of meeting and supporting Virunga's courageous team in their fight against illegal oil drilling in 2013," Variety quoted DiCaprio as saying.

"Virunga urgently needs funds to protect the endangered mountain gorilla population, to provide support to the rangers and the families of rangers who have fallen in the line of duty, and to help deliver essential disease prevention efforts. It's critical that we rally together during this time of incredible crisis," he added.

The 'Titanic' actor had earlier produced a Netflix documentary film 'Virunga' which is based on the national park.
