Confirmed: Kareena onboard to play the female lead in Angrezi Medium

Fans have been rejoicing ever since they heard that Irrfan Khan had started shooting for the sequel to his 2017 film, Hindi Medium, after battling neuroendocrine tumour. The movie, which went on the shooting floor on 5th April, stars Pataakha (2018) fame Radhika Madan as Khan’s daughter.

The original film had popular Pakistani actress Saba Qamar playing Khan’s love interest in it. But since Bollywood has imposed a blanket ban on Pakistani artists working in India, her presence in Angrezi Medium was out of question and hence, the makers had been on look-out for the female lead opposite Irrfan Khan for a long time.


Speculations have been rife of late that super gorgeous Kareena Kapoor Khan was in talks with the makes for the female lead role. Now, Radhika Madan, who plays the parallel female lead of the movie, has confirmed that Bebo has indeed come onboard as the female lead of Angrezi Medium.

The newbie confirmed the news on social media. She shared a picture of clapboard from the sets of the flick and tagged Irrfan Khan and Homi Adajania, along with has-tagging Kareena Kapoor Khan and producer Dinesh Vijan’s names. “As excited as the man behind! So, so, so grateful for this new journey. @irrfan @homster @maddockfilms #kareenakapoorkhan #dineshvijan,” she captioned the image.

Besides Irrfan Khan, Radhika Madan and Kareena Kapoor Khan, Angrezi Medium also stars talented actor Deepak Dobriyal. The movie is being helmed by Cocktail (2012) fame Homi Adajania.

Dhee on staying rooted, making ‘honest music’ and Tamil music’s global rise

Highlights

  • Dhee says Vari Vari emerged from a deeply personal and reflective period in her life
  • The singer believes listeners worldwide are searching for “new sounds and new stories”
  • She says remaining rooted in her identity has always been central to her music
  • Dhee hopes to release more albums and perform more frequently in the years ahead

A song shaped by reflection rather than intention

For Dhee, Vari Vari was not born out of a deliberate attempt to move in a new direction. Instead, it arrived during a period of reflection that naturally began influencing the music she was making. Speaking exclusively, the singer described how many of her recent songs have mirrored experiences unfolding in her own life, making them feel more personal than planned.

That emotional undercurrent eventually found its way into Vari Vari. Conversations with lyricist Vivek (Vivek Anna) slowly shaped the track, which grew from discussions around love and human connection. Rather than following a formula, the song evolved organically and became a reflection of thoughts she had already been carrying.
