Mumbai: Irrfan may have dropped his surname Khan but, like success, the Khan tag seems to be following him. The critically acclaimed actor is all set to play Fanney Khan in a rustic love story directed by Shivam Nair and produced by Anjum Rizvi.
Talking of Irrfan's role, Nair said: "His is a very entertaining character. After Paan Singh Tomar, he plays a light hearted fictitious character called Fanney Khan who is a member of Saraswati Brass band that goes for weddings in Lucknow.
"He keeps on checking and wooing girls attending the wedding. People will see him in a light role after a long gap."
To be shot in Lucknow, the film will have earthy rustic language and flavour to the whole film.
