Khan, who passed away on Wednesday, due to colon infection. Jagadish who acted along with Irrfan Khan in the film Billu, directed by Priyadarshan, says he feels lucky to act alongside a great actor like Irrfan. "I feel lucky to have had the chance to work with him in Priyadarshan's Billu. The breaks in filming were mostly spent discussing movies; he was very keen to know about Malayalam films, the genres, directors and actors. He used to say that Malayalam films had great quality. He was surprised when I told him I had watched his earlier Doordarshan serials,

Chanakya

and Chandrakanta. He was very talented and acting came easy to him, yet he was simple and modest".
