It's not a secret anymore that actor Irrfan Khan, who is a force to reckon with not just in Bollywood but all over the world, has been diagnosed with a rare disease called NeuroEndocrine Tumour. Reportedly, the National Award-winning actor is currently undergoing treatment in London.
We all know that before Irrfan came to know about his rare disease, he was psyched about starting his next film with acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. Deepika Padukone, his co-star from the slice-of-life film Piku, was also a part of the highly anticipated movie.
However, as the movie was drawing towards its commencement date in March, Irrfan broke the news of his deteriorating health to the world and the makers had to cancel the shoot.
Vishal Bhardwaj, who is very close to Khan, has now decided to put his film on hold until the actor recovers fully from his bad health. The director took to Twitter and shared that he will begin the project once the warrior Irrfan returns as a winner.
“Irrfan is a warrior and we know he will conquer this battle. Therefore @deepikapadukone, Prernaa (Arora) @kriarj and I have decided to reschedule our film and start with renewed energy and celebration when our warrior returns as a winner," he tweeted.
The untitled film is expected to be a gangster-drama.
