On the professional front, the actor is getting mixed response for his latest Hollywood film “Inferno” which also stars Oscar winning star Tom Hanks. The Sony Pictures Entertainment film “Inferno” released in India on Friday – two weeks before it opens in the US.
“Inferno” — the third part of Dan Brown’s book after “The Da Vinci Code” and “Angels & Demons” — narrates a thrilling story of how Robert Langdon, a professor of symbology at Harvard University, tries to save the world from a deadly plot.
In the film, Hanks is seen reprising the role of Langdon, and Irrfan plays Harry “The Provost” Sims, head of The Consortium.
