Irrfan Khan

The dancers stopped strutting on Bollywood film sets this year as the Indian film industry struggled to find any spring in its step during a disastrous 2020.

The annus horribilis for the world's most prolific movie industry began with the heartbreaking deaths in April within 36 hours of luminaries Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor.

Indian actor Irrfan Khan, known for his performances in both Bollywood and Hollywood, passed away on April 29. He was 53.

"It is saddening that this day we have to bring forward the news of him passing away," a statement by his publicist read.

British actress Felicity Jones, who was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar for her role in "The Theory of Everything," will come to Istanbul. She will star in Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's latest novel "Inferno" as Sienna Brooks. The film will be shot in Florence and Istanbul.
