After Udham Singh biopic, Irrfan Khan to reteam with Homi Adajania?

While National Film Award-winning actor Irrfan Khan is presently undergoing cancer treatment in London, his fans across the world are waiting for the moment when their favourite actor is declared cancer-free and resumes work.

Irrfan, who is reportedly responding well to his treatment, has been approached by a number of filmmakers lately. He has even signed ace director Shoojit Sircar’s next film which is a biopic on freedom fighter Udham Singh.


The latest buzz has it that after wrapping up Sircar’s film, Khan might do a film with filmmaker Homi Adajania. The actor is in talks with the director and if things fall into place, he will sign the project on the dotted line very soon.

“Irrfan has heard the idea and liked the concept but is yet to sign on the dotted line. Irrfan and Homi have been wanting to work together for a long time and finally seems to have found a script they both like,” a source reveals.

Irrfan Khan is also rumoured to be doing a sequel to his 2017 film Hindi Medium. However, the makers are first waiting for the actor to return home before making any announcement.

Water demand sparks questions around shoot logistics

The upcoming pan-Indian film Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli and starring Mahesh Babu, has reportedly run into a logistical challenge ahead of a key shooting schedule. According to reports, the production team sought a substantial number of water tankers for an underwater sequence being prepared at a specially constructed set near Gaganpahad in Hyderabad.

It is claimed that around 150 tankers, each carrying 10,000 litres, were requested from the city’s water authorities. However, the request was reportedly turned down due to ongoing summer shortages and increasing demand for drinking water across Hyderabad. There has been no official confirmation from the makers, though the reports have circulated widely online.
