Irrfan Khan, who is hoping to play Jawaharlal Nehru in Joe Wright's "Indian Summer", is undeterred by the fact that he looks nothing like India's first prime minister and says he can pull off the role convincingly.

"I'll turn myself into the character through my attitude. When I was just out of the NSD (National School of Drama) I had played Lenin at the age of 21. It made me realise my potential and direction as an actor," Irrfan said.
