By MYBRANDBOOK
Indian Film Festival of Melbourne aka IFF will pay tribute to three actors who lost their battle against life, this year.
2020, had to bid adieu to Irrfan Khan, Rishi Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput respectively.
As a part of IFFM’s tribute section, the festival will screen; Irrfan’s Song of Scorpion, Rishi’s 102 Not Out and Sushant’s Kedarnath.
The festival director Mitu Bhowmick Lange, said, “Artistes live on through their legacy. These were some fine men who did some incredible movies that resonated with everyone. It was important for us to celebrate their memory. We handpicked some great films for our audience so that we relive a little bit of their lives with them. Their loss to the film industry is irrevocable but the magic of their movies will continue to entertain generations hereafter.”
Versatile actor Irrfan breathed his last on April 29 after losing his two-year life war with neuroendocrine tumour.
April 30 saw the death of chocolate actor Rishi after battling with a year long cancer.
Heartthrob Sushant Singh Rajput was found dead on June 14 in his apartment.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts recently paid tribute to the versatile Irrfan Khan in their special video on hope.
A scene featuring Irrfan from Ang Lee film The Life of Pi saw him talking about life and death.
On his death, the Academy wrote in a tweet, “A mainstay of Bollywood cinema and incredible talent in films like Slumdog Millionaire, Life of Pi and The Namesake, Irrfan Khan left his imprint on global cinema. An inspiration to millions, he will be greatly missed.”
Irrfan’s last film was Angrezi Medium which released earlier this year but received mixed reaction due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Rishi was last seen in The Body with Emraan Hashmi and Sushant’s last film Dil Bechara was released posthumously on Disney+ Hotstar in July to great fan reaction.
