Plans for Hindi Medium sequel deferred yet again

After the roaring success of Hindi Medium in 2017, acclaimed actor Irrfan Khan was set to headline its sequel Hindi Medium 2 as well. But before the actor could start shooting for the movie, he was diagnosed with brain cancer and was admitted in a London hospital for his treatment.

As reported by various media outlets, the National Film Award-winning actor is out of dancer now and has returned to India. Recently, there were reports that he will start shooting for Hindi Medium 2 soon as the project has already faced several delays.


But from what we hear, the project has been put on the back burner yet again as Irrfan is yet to fully recover. The actor will no longer be able to return to movies until he is completely hale and healthy.

“Irrfan is recuperating slowly. He won’t be returning to acting for a while now. The process of healing is slow and exhausting. Even after full recovery, he won’t be allowed to get back to work for at least a year. So there is no question of doing Hindi Medium 2 or any other film in the immediate future,” a well-placed source divulged.

It looks like fans will have to wait a little longer before Irrfan Khan returns to the silver screen once again.

Tamil producers push for a Hollywood-style pay model embraced by Allu Arjun and Ranveer Singh

Highlights

  • Tamil producers are backing a wider shift towards revenue-sharing agreements.
  • Producer G Dhananjheyan says up to 60 per cent of a film's revenue could be distributed among actors and technicians.
  • The model aims to reduce upfront financial pressure on producers.
  • Allu Arjun and Ranveer Singh have been cited as examples of stars embracing the approach.

As film budgets continue to climb and box-office outcomes become harder to predict, Tamil producers are advocating a significant change in how actors and technicians are paid. Instead of relying on large upfront fees, they are encouraging a revenue-sharing model that links earnings directly to a film's performance.

The approach, widely used in Hollywood, is increasingly being viewed as a way to balance risk and reward across the industry. Supporters argue it could help producers manage costs while giving stars and crew members the opportunity to benefit more substantially when a film becomes a major success.
