Releasing on September 20, the film is presented by Karan Johar and UTV, in association with Dar Motion Pictures and the National Film Development Corporation. &quot;You do come across films you want to have a control over right till they hit the screens. Many a times you do films and then they get unnoticed due to small release, lack of promotions etc.u00a0 <img alt="Irrfan" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/nov/Irrfan-Khan.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 455px;" /> There are times when you get movies you really don&#39;t want to do but the story is good and you do it,&quot; Irrfan said. &quot;With my own production house, my intent is to do the kind of films I want to do without having to wait for such a film to come your way,&quot; he said. Asked him what are the kind of roles he would like to play on screen, Irrfan says, &quot;I am desperately waiting to do a good comedy film.u00a0 Also I want to make a trilogy in sports, I want to do romance. There are ample of things (roles) left to be done.&quot; Johar is presenting this film and Irrfan feels the filmmaker will become more famous by lending his name to this project. &quot;He (Karan Johar) came on board because he liked the film. I think Karan Johar will become popular because of this film and not the other way round. Karan didn&#39;t come on board because this film needed a face value,&quot; Irrfan said. &quot;But that doesn&#39;t mean that the film will not benefit from his name, it will. It is nice to see that a filmmaker who makes cinema of completely different sensibility wants to come on board for this film,&quot; he said. Irrfan said he chose to so &quot;The Lunchbox&quot; because the movie was the element of romance and that drew him. &quot;After a long time I felt I could explore romance in a film. This film will remind me of the character I played, the emotion I projected, the story it had and it because of these films for which I became an actor. I want to do films that have the potential to become a part of people&#39;s lives,&quot; he said. The film, directed by Ritesh Batra, stars Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead roles and revolves around a wrong delivery by dabbawala (lunchbox service) which leads to a relationship. &quot;There is an old-world charm to the romance this film has where you may fall in love with a person by just reading his or her letters. Such romance existed in the olden times,&quot; Irrfan said. The film has the backdrop of the famous Dabbawalas of Mumbai. &quot;The Dabba culture is just a device to connect two people. But yes I feel it is interesting to see how these Dabbawalas work. There is nothing mechanical all the addresses are set in the minds of the people,&quot; he added. The film garnered great response when it was screened at International Critics&#39; Week at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, and later won the Critics Week Viewers Choice Award. &quot;In our country, a success of a film is measured by the money it makes on the first weekend. I would say do not judge a new bride based on the dowry she gets. The success of &#39;The Lunchbox&#39; will be calculated by the number of lives it touched world over,&quot; Irrfan said.u00a0
