The actor made quite an interesting start on the popular platform by posting a throwback picture from his younger days. The actor posted a black and white photo where he’s dressed like Veeru from Ramesh Sippy’s Sholay and is striking the popular Jai-Veeru pose.


He caption the picture as “This is our poster inspired by the #Sholay poster. #FilmyInfluence”

Irrfan is unrecognisable in the second post, he is seated on a horse and trying hard to be like Rajesh Khanna.

He captioned the images as, “Somebody told me that to be an actor you must know horse riding … so whenever I went to ride (or learn to ride – which I didn’t at that time), I made it a point that when I sat on the horse … my look would be inspired by Rajesh Khannaji …. 😉 Hero toh banna hi tha! #FilmyInfluence”

Looks like the actor will be posting throwback images from his younger days sharing the things that inspired him to become an actor. Irrfan shares the third throwback pic with the caption “Though we weren’t allowed to watch cinema we used to watch a few movies .. and take pictures and weave a story around it… it would capture our minds … and it would be upto us and you to decipher what these stories would be! #FilmyInfluence”

Irrfan was last seen in “Hindi Medium” opposite Pakistani actor Saba Qamar. Meanwhile, he has recently wrapped up shooting for Tanuja Chandra’s next, a romcom revolving around an unlikely couple that falls in love on a road trip, and is currently working on Abhinay Deo’s “Raita” with “Pink” girl Kirti Kulhari.
