Irrfan Khan's wife Sutapa Sikdar remembers actors a month after his demise: 'Till we meet again'

Sutapa Sikdar has penned a touching note in memory of her late husband and actor Irrfan Khan, a month after his demise.

“It’s just a matter of time...Till we meet again,” wrote Sikdar as she shared two throwback photos with Irrfan Khan. While one features her hugging the actor, the other one shows Irrfan lying down on grass and looking at the camera.

Sutapa captioned the images, “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I’ll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass the world is too full to talk about. It's just a matter of time...milenge, baaten karenge... Till we meet again.”

She was quoting a verse from Sufi poet Rumi’s A Great Wagon.

Earlier this month, she had shared a song the actor loved, writing, “My eternal love to him and gratitude to the universe and prayers for everyone in these extraordinary times while I pray for him... The song he loved and listened when sad and it soothes me now in the most difficult times.. my eyes can't see you but you remain in my vision.”

Irrfan Khan passed away on 29 April after suffering from a rare form of neuroendocrine cancer that was diagnosed in 2018.

The late actor's wife issued a statement on behalf of the family a few days after Irrfan's demise, stating that she wanted to assure everyone that, “this is not a loss, it is a gain.”

“It’s a gain of the things he taught us, and now we shall finally begin to truly implement it and evolve…,” she wrote.

One of the most versatile actors in the Indian film industry, Khan is known for his stellar performances in films like Shoojit Sircar's Piku, Tigmanshu Dhulia's Paan Singh Tomar, Ang Lee's Life Of Pi, and Saket Chaudhary's Hindi Medium among others.

Oscars 2021 adds in-person UK hub for international nominees amid travel concerns during pandemic

With less than a month until showtime, the 93rd Oscars are taking another pass at the script. Show producers Steven Soderbergh, Jesse Collins and Stacey Sher remain determined to have an i n-person ceremony on 25 April in Los Angeles but told nominees on Tuesday in a virtual meeting that they’ve added a British hub after some backlash from nominees about international travel restrictions. The main event will still take place at Los Angeles’ Union station which will include a red carpet component but they are planning something special for the UK location. The show is also working with local broadcast affiliates around the world to provide satellite links for other international nominees. They said they are not totally ruling out Zoom but are hoping it doesn’t come to that. Although plans and requirements remain fluid, attendees have been told they’re expected to quarantine for 10 days prior to the show. And everyone is being told to bring a mask, even if the show is being designed...

Coronavirus Outbreak: After Tenet, Disney's Mulan stands postponed; film will now release on 21 August

Hollywood’s hopes for salvaging its summer season have effectively ended after the releases of both Christopher Nolan’s Tenet and the Walt Disney Co’s live-action reboot of Mulan were again delayed. With reported cases of the coronavirus surging in parts of the US, Disney on Friday followed Warner Bros in pushing Mulan to late August. (Click  here  to follow LIVE updates on coronavirus outbreak) The film, initially planned to open in March, had been slated for 24 July. It’s now moving to 21 August. “While the pandemic has changed our release plans for Mulan and we will continue to be flexible as conditions require, it has not changed our belief in the power of this film and its message of hope and perseverance,” said Disney co-chairmen Alan Horn and Alan Bergman in a joint statement. "Director Niki Caro and our cast and crew have created a beautiful, epic, and moving film that is everything the cinematic experience should be, and that's where we believe it belongs — o...

In conversation with Christopher Doyle, cinematographer of Wong Kar-Wai cinema: How we react to spaces energizes the film

The New Yorker critic Anthony Lane described the cinematography of Christopher Doyle as “a snake — savouring the air of the streets.” Across the Atlantic Ocean, on BBC , he is credited with “changing the look of cinema”. Doyle’s “anti-Hollywood” aesthetic, associated with the streaks of thick, luminous paint in Wong Kar-wai’s films, have a striking and lasting visual vitality. It has often been described as “post-modern” — though what that means exactly is everybody’s guess. My guess is the reliance, in his images, on feelings over narrative, on style over substance — the kind that skyrocketed post-World War II artists like Mark Rothko into fame. Rothko would just paint fields of colour, and people would stand and weep in front of his large, enveloping canvases. The effect of Doyle’s imagery is not much different.  For all his artistry, Doyle is flippant, moony, and charming. During an e-mail exchange produced below, edited for length and clarity, Doyle warns, “I think you s...
