Late Irrfan Khan Only Indian Actor on The Independent’s ‘60 Best Actors of 21st-Century Cinema’; Tom Cruise, Emma Stone, Song Kang Ho Also Feature in List
Irrfan Khan, the late Indian legend, ranks 41st in The Independent's list of the '60 Best Actors of 21st-Century Cinema', alongside iconic stars like Philip Seymour Hoffman, Emma Stone and more.
The Independent has released its esteemed list of '60 Best Actors of 21st-Century Cinema' boasting a singular Indian presence: the late, inimitable Irrfan Khan. Though ranked 41st, Khan's inclusion is a testament to his profound impact, exemplified by his captivating performances in films such as The Warrior (2002), Slumdog Millionaire (2008) and Jurassic World (2015). The list, meticulously curated with a stringent focus on cinematic achievement, excludes luminaries like Meryl Streep and Al Pacino due to its 2000 release date criterion. This stringent parameter, while necessary for establishing a cohesive framework, inevitably necessitates the omission of some titans of the stage and screen. The top ten is a veritable pantheon of talent, featuring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Emma Stone, Daniel Day-Lewis, Song Kang Ho, Nicole Kidman, Florence Pugh among others. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise rounds out the list at the 60th position. ‘Log Out’: Babil Khan’s Film Screened at River to River Indian Film Festival in Italy, a Decade After His Father Irrfan Khan's ‘Qissa’.
