Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone photographed at an event in Mumbai.
A tight schedule with back-to-back shoots and promotional activities has reportedly taken a toll on Irrfan Khan's health. The actor is said to be unwell and is experiencing weakness due to the exertion.
Irrfan has had a packed year, starting with
Piku, following which
Jurassic World was released. He even shot for his Hollywood film
Inferno, which also stars Tom Hanks. (Also Read:

The actor, whose film
Talvar hit the screens last week and
Jazbaa came out on October 9, had to skip promotions and planned screenings of his latest Bollywood outing.
According to a source close to him, Irrfan could not be a part of
Jazbaa premiere and a planned screening for
Talvar due to his ill-health.
He had to skip the screening of
Talvar, a movie based on the 2008 murder case of 14-year-old Aarushi Talwar and her family's domestic servant Hemraj, for which he had invited Deepika Padukone on Wednesday night.
"Irrfan was keen to show his
Piku co- star Deepika, the film and the duo were in touch for the same. However at the last hour he fell ill. Irrfan gave his team special instructions to ensure Deepika was comfortable. He even tried to make it for the premiere of
Jazbaa. However, his health did not allow him to," the source said.
