Who made Irrfan Khan say yes to dub for Jungle Book?

But the question is who exactly made Irrfan be convinced to take up the project.

In reality, Irrfan himself is a fan of the epic tale since childhood but it was his younger son Ayan who’s insistence made Irrfan say yes to dub for the movie. When Irrfan was offered the part, he happened to discuss it with his kids and Ayan was most excited at the thought of having his father be a part of a film which is literally a favourite for everyone, regardless their age.
