Shakespeare famously wrote — What’s in a reputation? After Irrfan Khan reportedly dropped his surname recently, the irony of the placement is that he just can’t do without it! Apparently, his character in his next film is named Fanney Khan.
Says producer Anjum Rizvi, “Irrfan plays an excessively entertaining character within the film. He plays a light-hearted fictitious character Fanney Khan who's a member of a band that goes for weddings. He keeps on checking and wooing girls attending the wedding.”
A source just about the actor says, “He has dropped Khan from his name, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t play Khan onscreen.”
Our source adds, “The actor had stopped using his surname some time ago but recently he decided to take away Khan from his name in film credits as well.”
According to sources, Irrfan dropped his surname, as he believes one doesn't need to be a Khan to achieve success in Bollywood.
