The tribute, in the form of a video clip, paid homage to over 40 artists the world of cinema lost during the past year, including actors, writers, directors, and technicians.

The video started with a tribute to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Irrfan's name was accompanied by a line from his 2012 Hollywood film Life Of Pi.
