Irrfan Khan rejoins the shooting of Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns

Multi-talented actor Irrfan Khan, who recently won hearts with his act in Ang Lee's award winning Life of Pi, was recently in hospital recuperating from the injuries he had encountered while shooting a polo scene for his upcoming film Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns.

The good news for all his fans is that the actor is on the mend and prepping to re-shoot the absent scene. Director of the film, Tigmanshu Dhulia confirmed Irrfan's better health, saying, "Irrfan will be fine. He picks up fast. Besides he`s halfway a polo player already. He is an expert horse rider. The rest will just follow."

As per the reliable source from the sets, it is to know that in Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, Irrfan needs to be shown playing a game of Polo. The sequence was put off for the last, since the actor needed to learn the sport from scratch. "The role has the method actor more nervous than anything he has done so far, including the rigorous self-discipline that went in to playing the steeple-chase runner in Dhulia's Paan Singh Tomar," added source.

A spokesperson said, "He has never been more anxious. Irrfan has never played polo. He needs to look like a professional polo player on screen. And he didn`t have that much time to take up the sport seriously."

To learn the basics Irrfan was sent to the Mahalaxmi Race Course in Mumbai to try to catch the game's nuances by practicing with professional players.

Well, we hope he stays carful for the next time!
