Inferno’s Irrfan Khan wants to change the ‘ignorance’ of humanity
His character in “Inferno” is a mystery to those who haven’t read the novels, and the man himself believes that the world suffers from a lack of knowledge.
In an interview with Yahoo Singapore on the “Inferno” red carpet on Tuesday (14 June), Irrfan Khan said that if given the power, he would change the “ignorance of human beings”.
“I will eliminate the ignorance of human beings,” Irrfan said. “Because that’s the problem, we tend to sleep after some time… Because we’re ignorant. We forget things.”
“Whatever we go through, after a point, we tend to forget that and repeat the same mistakes. We fall into the same trap, repeat the same follies,” the veteran Indian actor said.
“Ignorance should be eliminated. Gratefulness should be propagated,” he asserted.
Irrfan was in Singapore together with “Inferno” co-star Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard as part of the Sony Summit held at Marina Bay Sands last week.
“Inferno” is the third Dan Brown novel to be adapted for the big screen after “The Da Vinci Code” (2006) and “Angels and Demons” (2009).
“Inferno” opens in Singapore on 27 Oct 2016.
