We've often heard about the stories of the Khans and the Kareenas and Katrinas of the industry being at loggerheads with each other. But now, we hear that even seasoned actors like Nawazuddin and Irrfan are having troubles with each other. Well, let's jog your memory a little. It all started when the duo did Karan Johar'sLunchbox together. Since that move, the comparisons between the two actors started doing the rounds. So, once at an award function, Nawazuddin thanked everyone for Lunchbox, but forgot to mention Irrfan's name.
So, when Irrfan was recently quizzed about this at a press conference, the actor got so miffed that he left without answering the question! Wow! Now, that's a pretty strong move. While everyone was surprised with this, a source clarified, "He doesn’t want to give Nawaz any publicity.

Here's how two of India's finest actors have had exactly the same journey and still can't get along with each other.
1. The Lunchbox issue.
Of course, the two started having issues with each other ever since they worked together in Lunchbox. Even though Irrfan was the main lead in it, Nawazuddin's small, yet influential role was much appreciated.
2. Both of them are character actors, and hence tough competition for each other.
Both Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui are character actors, and hence the kind of roles they demand are similar. Considering how our Bollywood industry is, there are of course, less character roles out there. Hence, they are tough competition for each other.
3. Both of the had the same sort of journey to stardom.
Nawzuddin and Irrfan, both had a tough journey, and both are totally self made individuals. Both of them had been trying to make it big since years, and got their due really late in their career. So nobody can actually point out which one has struggled more.
4. Both of them are eyeing international success.
While Irrfan has already established himself as a decent enough international actor, with roles in films like Life Of Pi and Jurassic World, Nawazuddin Sidddiqui is too eyeing roles in international movies. Which further makes their competition tougher!
5. Both the actors are trying to break free from the character actor zone and enter the romantic hero area.
Yes! Irrfan Khan did it with Piku and Nawazuddin did with Manjhi. While earlier, both actors were busy doing cameo and side roles, they've now started experimenting with romantic and main lead roles as well.
