Irrfan Khan will NOT start shooting for Hindi Medium 2 anytime soon, clarifies spokesperson
A spokesperson for Irrfan Khan Wednesday dismissed the reports that the actor will soon start shooting for "Hindi Medium 2". The 51-year-old actor is currently abroad undergoing treatment for neuroendocrine tumour. The spokesperson, however, said that Irrfan may return to the country after Diwali.
"The story floating about Irrfan starting 'Hindi Medium 2' shoot in December are all based on speculations. However, there is a possibility of him returning to India after Diwali," the spokesperson said in a statement.
A report in an online portal had claimed the actor will be flying to India to shoot for the sequel of his 2017 hit.
Irrfan first spoke of his health on March 5, when he revealed that he was suffering from a 'rare disease'. He later revealed that he has been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour, a rare disease that can target various parts of the body.
In June, Irrfan provided an update about his health in an interview to a tabloid. “This realisation made me submit, surrender and trust, irrespective of the outcome, irrespective of where this takes me, eight months from now, or four months from now, or two years. The concerns took a back seat and started to fade and kind of went out of my mindspace. For the first time, I felt what ‘freedom’ truly means. It felt like an accomplishment. As if I was tasting life for the first time, the magical side of it. My confidence in the intelligence of the cosmos became absolute. I feel as if it has entered every cell of mine. Time will tell if it stays, but that is how I feel as of now,” he said.
