Producer Dinesh Vijan says actor Irrfan Khan, who returned to work last month to shoot for Angrezi Medium after being diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour, is in top form and will be seen playing a character that will be “very memorable”.
In March last year, Irrfan had announced his diagnosis and said he was going abroad for treatment. He returned to India in February this year.
Asked how is he on the sets, Dinesh told IANS: “He is outstanding and mind-blowing. He is in top form. His character is going to be very memorable.”
Angrezi Medium is the sequel to the 2017 entertainer Hindi Medium.
Last month, Irrfan had tweeted an image of himself standing in front of a fictional sweet shop. He had captioned it: “GMB serving since 1900s. It’s going to be fun to tell another story Angrezi Medium. Coming soon, with Mr. Champakji.”
Is special care being taken for him?
“He is such a special actor. He is a very strong human being. He takes care of the unit as much as the unit takes care of him,” said the producer. The movie also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan. (IANS)
