Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal here on Tuesday, asserted that politicians have their own limitations and they need the support of the common people to change the system.

Irrfan told the media that Kejriwal told him during the meeting that the common man will have to participate to bring the change.

"One man cannot bring the change. It doesn't happen like that. We all have to come together and understand the system and participate to bring the change," he said.

Irrfan also expressed his desire to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi.

The 49-year-old actor also commented on his upcoming 'Madaar, which is based on the plight of a father who loses his son in an accident and then tries to get justice.

"Madaari movie is about many issues, it is also about accountability, accountability to the promises that are made to the common people," said Irrfan.
