Gully Boy' star Vijay Varma is expanding his horizons and making new fans day by day. He is currently busy raking praises for his fresh and unique character in the recently released trailer of upcoming film 'Ok Computer'. It is now revealed that his character is a sort of tribute to one of his idols and a great actor of Indian Cinema. Vijay's character is a policeman from the cyber cell, named Saajan Kundu.

The inspiration for the first name was legendary actor Irrfan Khan. Irrfan played a character named Saajan Fernandez in critically acclaimed 'Lunch Box'. Few days ago, Vijay wrote on Twitter, "The officer’s name is Kundu.. Saajan Kundu ??
An homage to Irrfan saab’s character name from @riteshbatra ’s sublime #Lunchbox #OkComputer"

A source close to Vijay said, "Irrfan Khan sir has always been one of the biggest inspirations of Vijay. He respects him a lot. So paying tribute to a character of Irrfan sir's just felt like the right thing to do to Vijay specially for a passion project of his". This is first time the actor in trying the comedy genre which is quite different from his usual characters. 'Ok Computer' is going to introduce Indian audience to a fresh concept of Sci-fi comedy.
