How is the off-screen Irrfan Khan— funny, shy or crazy?

It has enriched me as an actor and rekindled my interest in acting. I was getting quite bored with acting till I got The Warrior, whose success led to more international projects such as with Mira Nair and Danny Boyle, who was the only reason for me doing my next international release Slumdog Millionaire.

Is it true that you now charge a crore per film?
I charge more than that!
