<p>Indian director Vishal Bhardwaj is dearly missing Irrfan Khan, who died on April 29.</p>

<p>The filmmaker has thus written an emotionally charged screenplay titled ‘Irrfan and I’, remembering the late actor. He captioned it: "My ode to a beautiful friend."</p>

<p>The screenplay fictionalises the news around Irrfan’s demise as he died a sudden death after being admitted to hospital in Mumbai for a colon infection. Irrfan had been battling with cancer for two years now but he was reported to have recovered after treatment in London.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, in Vishal’s screenplay, he reacts with disbelief when he learns of Irrfan’s demise. When Vishal was told about the news, he said he felt deep remorse almost as if a bomb exploded in his coronary heart.</p>
