There were times when I would read the script and say, ‘It is very boring’. Or at times, he would remark, ‘This script is very bad’." Sutapa revealed that Irrfan didn't like the script of Raat Akeli Hai. "I remember him talking about a film once like this. Actually, he didn’t call it ‘bad’. He said, ‘What is new about it?’, ‘Why should I do it?’. He finally didn’t do it as he was not well. That film was Honey Trehan’s Raat Akeli Hai (2020). I loved the script.

The fear of being a “blotch" in late actor Irrfan Khan’s otherwise “beauteous career graph" kept filmmaker Karan Johar from directing the “very sexy" star. In an interview with journalist-author Shubhra Gupta for her book “Irrfan: A Life in Movies", Johar admitted that he did not want to be the filmmaker who gave an actor of Irrfan’s calibre a “substandard mainstream film". “He (Irrfan) was way stronger than anything I could have ever offered him. I never arrived at a screenplay, a film, a thought or an idea that would warrant the presence of the magnitude that Irrfan Khan brought to the table," Karan said. “That’s the reason I’ve never had a film with Irrfan because I’ve never wanted to be that filmmaker that gave him a substandard mainstream film. I didn’t want to be the blotch in his otherwise beauteous career graph," added Johar, as quoted in the book. The director remembered being stunned by Irrfan’s performance in Maqbool and telling that to the film’s director Vishal Bhardwaj. “Because no other actor, I think, has a combination of the various characteristics that Irrfan brought to the table: charisma, cinema intellect, presence, performance, all in equal measure. You can slot many other actors into boxes. You can’t generalize Irrfan Khan, you can’t put him into a box. It’s simply because he was so unique and individualistic," Johar said. The filmmaker, known for directing blockbusters like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, My Name Is Khan and Ae Dil Hai ...
