Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan manages to balance both worlds with ease. He will be seen in his upcoming Hollywood film Puzzle and it seems like he is all set to add another feather to his hat.

Starring Kelly Macdonald in the lead role, Puzzle is the story of Agnes, who lives a simple, monotonous, mundane life. She finds purpose and meaning when she completes a jigsaw puzzle for the first time as an adult. Her passion for solving more puzzles leads her to Irrfan Khan’s Robert. The two join a competition solving jigsaw puzzles. David Denman’s Louie (Agnes’ husband) is too dominating and does not support the idea as he finds it childish. In the trailer, we see that Robert (Irrfan Khan) is an accomplished businessman and Agnes finds it strange that he finds her interesting. The trailer also reveals that the two engage in an extra-marital relationship as well and that creates a lot of issues in Agnes’ married life.

“Life is messy. There is nothing we can do to control anything,” as Irrfan’s character says this in the trailer it gives a feeling that all the puzzle pieces in this film are going to fit in the right place.

In an interview with reporters, Irrfan had earlier said, “If you keep doing similar things, you get bored. So it’s better that you find a new subject and find yourself something fresh to keep the journey exciting.”

Puzzle premiered at 2018 Sundance Film Festival and received good reviews from various international publications. The Hollywood Reporter mentions Irrfan’s performance as an asset to the film as they write in their review, “Other assets include a fine supporting cast, led by Bollywood superstar and now in-demand Hollywood supporting player Irrfan Khan (The Life of Pi, The Lunchbox) as an extramarital love interest for Macdonald’s character.” Variety writes in their review, “Puzzle is the missing piece in American blockbuster filmmaking.”

The film is directed by Marc Turtletaub, Puzzle is the English language remake of the 2010 Argentinian film of the same name.
