Irrfan Khan ends 2016 with mini-series Tokyo Trials on Netflix

Irrfan Khan will be seen playing the role a judge from Calcutta who was invited to Japan to execute a trial case in Tokyo Trial.

Over the years, Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan has established himself as an international star. His work is appreciated in the west by popular filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and Ron Howard to name a few.

During the promotions of Inferno, the actor had dropped a hint that after venturing into Bollywood, Hollywood and regional films, he was also interested in television series as well. He, however, kept his plans a secret during that interview to indianexpress.com. Now we came to know that the actor will appear in Netflix’s mini-series Tokyo Trial – a historic drama recreation of the trial that happened in 1946 following the Second World War. Eleven judges from all over the world were called to Tokyo where they spent two-and-a-half years and engaged in a landmark trial that determined the outcome of over 28 Pacific war criminals as the entire world’s fate hung in the delicate balance and aftermath. This is the story of these Justice’s struggle to undertake the unprecedented task of ‘trying war as a crime’.
