THE BYPASS

This was a 2003 silent short film united Irrfan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. In the 17-minute film, two violent muggers (Siddiqui and Sundar Dan Detha) rob and kill innocent travellers on a secluded highway in Rajasthan, till they face a corrupt and equally cruel cop, played by Irrfan. The film was screened at Edinburgh International Film Festival and Aubagne Film Festival.

ROAD TO LADAKH

The 2008 film starring Irrfan and Koel Puri is considered a hidden gem in the actor's filmography. It was directed by Ashvin Kumar and narrates the story of a man and a woman, who hail from diametrically different worlds, who are stuck in a remote place with each other.
