Irrfan Khan Returns To Mumbai But Hindi Medium 2 Not On His To-Do List Yet
Producer Bhushan Kumar has confirmed that Hindi Medium 2 will be made with Irrfan, who is back from London, but contrary to reports, it isn’t going on floors on February 22
Irrfan Khan, who has been in London past a few months, for
his NeuroEndocrine tumour treatment, has returned to Mumbai. Yesterday, the
Internet was abuzz with news that the talented actor will start shooting for
Hindi Medium 2 on Feb 22. But T-series head honcho, Bhushan Kumar (also the
co-producer of Hindi Medium and its sequel with Dinesh Vijan) has confirmed to
Bombay Times that there is still time for the makers to begin the shoot,
emphasising on the fact that Hindi Medium 2 will only be made with Irrfan Khan.
“Hindi Medium 2 will happen, but it will take time. It is not going on floors on February 22 as reported. The film will happen only with Irrfan. His fans and audiences need to wait a bit more. We will surely make an announcement soon.” Bhushan told Bombay Times.
The leading daily also spoke to a source close to the actor
who denied the news of Irrfan being admitted to a Mumbai hospital. He
clarified, “Irrfan has been given a sanction from the London hospital to shift
base to Mumbai, where he can continue with his treatment. He is here now, but
he hasn’t been admitted to any suburban hospital as reported. He will consult
the doctors as and when required. People should stop speculating and give him
some space.”
