Irrfan Khan, Ron Howard and Tom Hanks

With Tom (Hanks), there is a comfort factor since we have collaborated earlier, but working with Irrfan (Khan) as singularly unique," says director Ron Howard, who's gearing up for the release of his clue-solving, globe-trotting adventure, 'Inferno', based on Dan Brown's bestseller. The film is the sequel to cinematic adaptations of Brown's The 'Da Vinci Code' (2006) and 'Angels & Demons' (2009), both of which were helmed by him.
