Hindi Medium 2 to be retitled?

Ever since news came out that Irrfan Khan is back home after undergoing treatment for neuroendocrine tumour in London, fans have been waiting to see him resume work. As widely reported by media lately, Khan is expected to commence his next inning by starring in the sequel of his 2017 hit Hindi Medium.

The latest update on the much-awaited project is that it might not be titled Hindi Medium 2. Yes, you heard that right! According to reports, Hindi Medium 2 is just the working title of the film and the makers have locked English Medium as the new title of the sequel.


The Hindi Medium sequel tells the story of Irrfan’s daughter who goes to the US for her further studies. Since the sequel portrays the struggle of people from different origins who go to the United States to study and try to fit in, it has been titled English Medium.

“The film will not just address the issues of Hindi medium students in the US but also those of the students from other countries who face trouble fitting into a system where English is the primary spoken language. Keeping that in mind, director Saket Chaudhary, who helmed the first instalment, has been replaced by Homi Adajania who has directed films such as like Being Cyrus (2006), Finding Fanny (2014) and Cocktail (2012),” a well-placed source revealed.

If reports are to be believed, Radhika Madan, who was most recently seen in Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (2019), has been roped in to play Irrfan Khan’s daughter in the movie, while the search for Khan’s female lead is still on.

The film will be produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films.

What Britain’s ban on strangulation porn really means and why campaigners say it could backfire

Highlights:

  • Government to criminalise porn that shows strangulation or suffocation during sex.
  • Part of wider plan to fight violence against women and online harm.
  • Tech firms will be forced to block such content or face heavy Ofcom fines.
  • Experts say the ban responds to medical evidence and years of campaigning.

You see it everywhere now. In mainstream pornography, a man’s hands around a woman’s neck. It has become so common that for many, especially the young, it just seems like part of sex, a normal step. The UK government has decided it should not be, and soon, it will be a crime.

The plan is to make possessing or distributing pornographic material that shows sexual strangulation, often called ‘choking’, illegal. This is a specific amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill. Ministers are acting on the back of a stark, independent review. That report found this kind of violence is not just available online, but it is rampant. It has quietly, steadily, become normalised.
