Irrfan Khan & His Cars: From Piku to Karwaan | A Tribute

Irrfan Khan – one of the finest actors in Bollywood who played the most versatile roles in the movies he acted in. Today, India has lost one of the most magnificent actors who wasn’t limited to our own industry but had done a few Hollywood films as well which didn’t fail to impress the audience at any point of time! No one can ever fill the void created today in the Indian film industry. From Pissin Patel “The Life of Pi” to Raj Batra in “Hindi Medium”; Irfan showcased his versatile acting skills and never failed to entertain the audience. A lot of cars will be remembered as “Irrfan Khan cars” as he drove them in his famous roles!

As an ode to the most versatile actor – Irrfan Khan, we have a look at the cars that he used in some of his movies which will always be remembered by the audience!

1. Piku – 2011 Toyota Innova
   

   

   The Irrfan Khan, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachhan starter movie showcased Irfan as a cab owner who gets stuck between the father-daughter duo as they set on a road journey from Delhi to Kolkata. Needless to say, Irfan played the role of Rana Choudhary really well and succeeded in entertaining the audience in every possible bit. Critics praised the screenplay, performances, humour and overall simplicity. The Toyota Innova currently exists in the Indian market as the Innova Crysta and is doing a successful business for Toyota India. Irrfan Khan won the Screen award for best actor (critics) for this film! Do we need to say more?

2. Jurassic World – Mercedes Benz G 550
   

   

   Irrfan Khan played the role of Simon Masrani in the Hollywood superhit Jurassic World. This was the fourth instalment of the Jurassic Park film series and the first one in the Jurassic world film trilogy. Simon Masrani was the CEO of the Masrani Corporation and the owner of Jurassic World. Masrani drove a Mercedes Benz G 550 in this movie. Commonly known as G-Wagen this is the mid-size four-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by the German automaker. As always, Irrfan nailed his role in this one too!

3. Gunday – Mahindra CJ 3B
   

   

   This one featured Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan in the lead roles. The movie was about two best friends and outlaws, who fall in love with a common girl causing various misunderstandings between them. Irrfan Khan played the role of a police officer in this one. ACP Satyajeet Sarkar, who was summoned to arrest the other leads drove a CJ 3B ins style! Do we need to explain about this historic vehicle? We don’t think so!

4. Karwaan – Tata Nano & Tata Winger
   

   

   In this light-hearted comedy, Irrfan Khan played the role of Shaukat Khan who offered his van and company to his friend to travel from Bangalore and exchange a dead body which previously went to a wrong place by mistake. The winger was a light commercial van produced by Tata but was discontinued some time ago. Tata displayed a fresh new version of this van in the latest edition of the Indian Auto Expo. Another one used in this move was the Tata Nano which we all know as the cheapest car in the world!

   In his personal life too, Irrfan owned a Mercedes S-Class. Known for its luxury, this car is a perfect example of German engineering! Seeing Irrfan Khan own this one, we can definitely say he had a good taste in cars.
