New Delhi: No senior would like to be compared to his junior. Rumour has that similar issue seems to be the reason why Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan can't stand Nawazuuddin Siddiqui, the so called "new" talent in B-Town.If reports are to be believed than Irrfan doesn't like the constant comparisons made between him and Nawaz.
"Nawazuddin is touted as the next Irrfan and neither of them is pleased with it," says a source.When Irrfan was contacted, he denied the alleged tiff saying, "It's not true at all. I just did a film with him called The Lunchbox. If he is touted as the next Irrfan, why would I have an issue with it? You should ask him as to how he is receiving it!"
According to Nawazuddin, "Irrfan is my senior. He has his own style of working. Comparing us would be underestimating our talent! No actor wants to be touted as the next so-and-so as you want to carve your niche and create your own identity. Just because I entered the industry later doesn't mean I have to be compared to him. We have a cordial relationship. I idolise actors like Dilip Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee and Naseeruddin Shah, but I wouldn't want to be compared to them either. I don't want to be the next Irrfan."
