Billu stars Irrfan Khan (in one of his finest everyman roles) as Bilas Rao Pardesi, a small-town barber nicknamed “Billu.” When a famous Bollywood actor, Sahir Khan (played by Shah Rukh Khan playing himself)—who Billu once helped in childhood—arrives in their village for a film shoot, the barber’s life turns upside down.
