Irrfan is kept out of Haider publicity from the begining . All the
publicty matter that goes out from the producers office has no mention
of Irrfan .
Irrfan
Khan, who will be seen in a guest appearance in Haider, has requested
Vishal Bharadwaj that his presence like face and name must not be used
in Haider promotion. And Vishal Bhardwaj is perfectly okay with the
arrangement.
Therefore, Irrfan will not be seen in any publicity of Haider. The actor’s friend says, “It’s a policy decision. Irrfan will do guest appearances only on condition that his name and face are not used for any publicity. Vishal Bharadwaj respects Irrfan's sentiments. The actor's name will be kept completely out of the publicity."
Earlier, Irrfan had an unpleasant experience with the makers of the thriller Xpose. Further his friend adds, "He did a guest appearance in Xpose. The makers had promised to keep his name and face out of the publicity. Irrfan was shocked to see he was featured prominently in the publicity."
On this Irrfan says, "I have a guest appearance in Haider. I did it because I love Vishal's work. And I wanted to be part of another Shakespearean adaptation by Vishal after Maqbool."
Haider,
starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu and Kay Kay Menon,
directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, produced under the banner of UTV motion
picture, is slated for 2nd october 2014
