My word, that’s what happens when you graduate from a regional fraternity like Bollywood to an international industry like Hollywood. Actor Irrfan Khan has done quite a few Hollywood films and is now working alongside Tom Hanks in a movie titled Inferno for which shooting is taking place in Budapest.

The Indian actor appears to be on cloud nine after befriending Tom H. So much so that at times while talking about the Oscar winning actor he doesn’t even realise the difference between useful information and useless trivia.

Talking enthusiastically to a journo about his new friend Irrfan K said, “Tom is everybody’s friend. We discuss everything from our hair to cinema. We both have curly hair and love it when it straightens out.”

Okay … Irrfan K, it’s high time you straightened out … some other issues as well.
