This is big … for Indian actor Irrfan Khan, that is. Although he has worked in a few Hollywood films, including in one of the Spider Man installments, the chance to act alongside the one and only Tom Hanks is huge.

Insiders say that Irrfan K has been approached by none other than the Oscar-winning director Ron Howard to do an important role in one of his forthcoming films co-starring Tom H. There is also some conjecture that the film is the third in the Inferno series. However, there is an issue of dates of the Indian actor’s availability because he’s been asked to record his part in April but in that month Irrfan K is committed to promoting a Bollywood project. Still, he has told his friends that dates are being worked out and the issue might resolve. Dates!
