Director Anup Singh announces book on Irrfan

Anup Singh and late Irrfan Khan

Anup Singh, who directed Irrfan Khan in the critically-acclaimed Qissa: The Lonely Ghost (2013), has announced a special book, titled Irrfan: Dialogues with the Wind, on the actor’s 54th birthday as a tribute to the late star.


Singh said the book may have emerged from “tremendous grief” but it is ultimately a celebration of the life and art of Irrfan. The actor’s wife Sutapa Sikdar said the book was the best birthday gift for Irrfan that she could dream of. “Anup’s book is poignant, lyrical and soulful. It resonated with me so much that I could actually see Anup and Irrfan’s interaction. All the best!” she said.


The memoir carries a foreword by Amitabh Bachchan, the actor’s co-star in Piku. Talking about his bond with the late actor as a director and a friend, Singh, who also worked with Irrfan in The Song of Scorpions, said, “This book emerged from tremendous grief. But in the remembering and in the writing, what ultimately affirmed itself are the joy of having known and worked with such a singular man and actor. The book is a celebration of this amazing man, a devoted friend, and an artiste who took us into the soul of what it means to be a human being in our world today.”
