Actor Irfan Zaini has expressed pride and gratitude at being entrusted with the role of Salman in the action film “Jana Nayagan,” the final screen outing for celebrated Kollywood star Vijay, who is now Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
In a social media post, Irfan described the role of Salman as far more than just another character — calling it a major responsibility he carried throughout filming.
“Salman isn’t just another character to me, it’s a responsibility I carry on my shoulders. Not only because this is Vijay’s last film, but also because I’m aware I’m carrying my country’s name on a stage this big,” he said.
Irfan, whose full name is Muhammad Irfan Mohamed Zain, also expressed deep appreciation to all the fans and viewers who have continuously shown their support, encouragement, and kind words.
“To everyone who watched, cheered, sent messages, shared posts and believed in me — thank you from the bottom of my heart.
“You have no idea how much all of this means to me. Moments like this remind me all over again why I fell in love with acting,” he added.
Admitting he feels grateful and humbled by the warm reception, Irfan considers this valuable experience one of the sweetest blessings of his acting career.
“Jana Nayagan” has been screening in cinemas nationwide since July 23. Besides Irfan and Vijay, the film also stars Bollywood actors Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol.
In other news, Irfan is set to appear in the action film “Terbang,” which tells the story of national rally racing legend Karamjit Singh, and is slated for release in cinemas on September 17.
