Actors are perceived as magicians in India: Irrfan Khan
Irrfan Khan has said while in Indian cinema actors are perceived as magicians who mesmerise the audience; in the West they are seen as performers. "In the West...the audience looks for a certain amount of nuance, subtleness (in actors)," added Irrfan. He further said that this difference in the audience's perception is an interesting part of exploring Bollywood and Hollywood.
