The 50-year-old actor posted two black-and-white pictures on his recently created photo sharing account.
The first picture shows Irrfan and a friend mimicking the classic "Sholay" pose where veteran actor Dharmendra sits on a whistling Amitabh Bachchan's shoulders and plays the harmonica.

In the second photograph, Irrfan can be seen riding a horse, dressed up like India's first superstar, Rajesh Khanna.
"Somebody told me that to be an actor you must know horse riding... So whenever I went to ride (or learn to ride - which I didn't at that time), I made it a point that when I sat on the horse... My look would be inspired by Rajesh Khannaji... Hero toh banna hi tha! (Had to become a hero some day) #FilmyInfluence," wrote Irrfan.
