Irrfan Khan's international bilingual film 'Doob' heads to the Oscars.

Irrfan Khan, who starred in and co-
produced prominent Bangladeshi
director, Mostofa Sarwar Farooki's
2017 drama, Doob: No Bed of Roses',
has a reason to celebrate as his
bilingual film is a contender in the
foreign film category at the Oscars.
Selected by the Bangladesh Oscar
Committee as the official selection from
the Eastern country, the film revolves
around the life of a renowned filmmaker
who creates a scandal in Bangladesh
when he leaves his wife to marry his
daughter's friend. The film premiered at
the Shanghai International Film Festival
in 2017 and is now headed to the 91st
Academy Awards, in the Best Foreign
Film category.
Khan's spokesperson said, "Irrfan is
extremely happy to hear the news. It is
an honour to be recognised by the jury
and he is delighted that his film is
getting the much deserved
acknowledgement at long last.
Mostofa Sarwar Farooki said, "Obviously
I am happy because No Bed of Roses is
representing Bangladesh at the Oscars. I
hope the the film would find some love
from the Academy voters. As for my
collaboration with Irrfan, it would have
been impossible to make this film
without his involvement as an actor and
co-producer! I share a wonderful
relation with him, on and off the set. I
call him "poet and he jokingly corrects
me saying "I'm a poet with no words In
this film, he actually expressed so many
things with very little help of words and I
m glad to have collaborated with one of
the finest actors of not just India but
globally !!
Despite not being in the country, Khanan
has had one international and two
national releases this year which just
goes to show that the talented actor is
giving back to his audience for all their
love and affection and will never fail to
entertain his fans with his brilliant work.
