Irrfan Khan to kick-off Hindi Medium 2 next month?

National Film Award-winning Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan, who was undergoing treatment in London for neuroendocrine tumour, is completely fine now. According to reports, the actor is now looking at returning to work pretty soon.

Irrfan, who was last seen in Karwaan (2018), will reportedly start shooting for his much-talked-about film Hindi Medium 2 soon. The film is a sequel to his well-received movie Hindi Medium (2017). The entire team of the film could be heading to the US to begin production in April, as per reports.


“While Hindi Medium was shot extensively in India, the sequel will be shot in the U.S. The story will revolve around the daughter, to be played by Radhika Madan, who travels to the United States for her higher education,” a source revealed.

In Hindi Medium, Pakistani actress Saba Qamar was seen as the female lead opposite Irrfan Khan. However, now the makers are looking for her replacement after the Indian film industry imposed a blanket ban on Pakistani artists.

Hindi Medium 2 will be produced by Dinesh Vijan.
