"A strong two line idea drew me towards the subject that I wanted the film to be made. This led me from it only being a part of the film as an actor but also try and do much more as producer," Irrfan said in a statement.

Directed by Nishikant Kamath, 'Madaari' is inspired by true life events. Irrfan will also be seen playing the lead protagonist in the film.

'Madaari' at it's heart is a father and son story, and delivers a very heart touching and sensitive concept.

The movie is all set to release on June 10.
