Considering Khan’s popularity at home, Irrfan and Tom Hanks starrer ‘Inferno’ to release in India first.

Mumbai: Irrfan Khan, who is well known for his outstanding cinematic performances both in the country and the West, will soon be seen in ‘Inferno’ along with Hollywood heavyweight Tom Hanks. Khan, who has earned accolades for his roles in ‘Namesake’ and ‘Jurassic World’ in the past, is ecstatic to learn that the movie is releasing on Indian soil first.

Irrfan was reported as saying, “It was a great experience working with Tom and the entire team. I am glad that it is releasing in my home country earlier than its global release.”

As per reports, a source confirmed, “Irrfan’s fan following in the country prompted the film’s producers to take this call. They realised that there is a lot of curiosity among fans regarding Tom and Irrfan’s pairing. Hence, to cash in on the actor’s popularity on his home turf, the producers decided to promote this film in India.”

The film will release in India on October 14, two weeks before it’s US release which is scheduled for October 28.
