People around the world are mourning the passing away of Irrfan Khan who died on April 29, 2020. South celebrities also took to their social media pages and paid tribute to the late actor and spoke about him being a par excellence actor. Dulquer Salmaan, who made his Bollywood debut alongside Irrfan in Karwaan took to his Instagram page and shared BTS stills from the movie.

He wrote, "Can’t wrap my head around this. You were this humongous talent, a living legend, an international movie star. And yet, you treated all of us on Karwaan and everyone you met, as equals. By some ease of your nature, you made us all feel like family. You were kind, witty, charming, curious, inspired, compassionate and always fun. I observed you the entire time like a student and a fan. Thanks to you, all through the shoot I had a constant smile plastered on my face. I laughed endlessly, struggled to keep a straight face, and so often stared at you in absolute awe. In return, you always had that grin. That amused grin at the world. Almost like it surprised you at all times. It’s how I’ll always remember you. #thehappiestofsouls"

Even Kamal Haasan tweeted, "Too soon to leave @irrfank Ji. Your work always left me in awe. You’re one of the finest actors I know, I wish you stayed longer. You deserved more time. Strength to the family at this time."

While Mohanlal tweeted, "Extremely saddened to hear the loss of Irrfan Khan. May his soul rest in peace #RIPIrrfanKhan"

She shared BTS stills with the late actor and penned, "For that persistent ever-curious artistic spirit that created worlds from scratch, for always including your fellow actors in the joy of such creations, for owning those very human errors as well as the generosity of your being, for always believing “it’s just the beginning!” Remembering you, Irrfan. ???? ?????"
