It is a well-known fact that actor
Irrfan Khan and director
Tigmanshu Dhulia, who have collaborated on other films in the past, are very good friends. However, if you thought that this friendship helped Khan land a role in Dhulia's next film
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, you are absolutely wrong!
It seems that Khan was challenged to a game of chess by Dhulia, who declared that Khan would land the role only if he managed to beat him at chess. Fortunately for him, the
Maqbool actor managed to win the game and was signed up for the film.
Tigmanshu later revealed that Irrfan's character in the film is a master manipulator and Dhulia wanted to see if the actor had that sly and devious side to his personality before signing him up for the role.
