Irrfan Khan to play lead in Bangladeshi film

Irrfan Khan will play the lead in No Bed of Roses -- to be helmed by Bangladesh's acclaimed Mostofa Sarwar Farooki. To be produced by Kolkata's Eskay Movies and Bangladesh's Jazz Multimedia, No Bed of Roses will be bilingual, Bengali and English. The Bengali title will be Doob.

Khan's IK will co-produce the film, which will be the actor's second foray into production. His first was Ishaan Nair's Kaash -- a work about romantic relationships and heartbreaks that premiered at the Tokyo International Film Festival last year. It did not attract rave notices, though.

The plot of No Bed of Roses is not being revealed -- not as yet -- but we know that Bangladeshi actor Nusrat Imroz Tisha (known for her roles in Farooki's Third Person Singular Number, which was the country's 2011 Oscar submission in the foreign language category, will star opposite Khan.
