Homi
Adajania
has
been
roped
in
to
direct
the
sequel
of
Irrfan
Khan-starrer
"Hindi
Medium" and
the
filmmaker
says
the
upcoming
movie
will
be
"amusing
yet
emotional".
Dinesh
Vijans
Maddock
films
is
producing
the
project
and
Irrfan
is
set
to
return
as
the
lead.
"I
ambled
into
Dinoos
(Dinesh
Vijan)
room
and
he
was
sitting
down
to
a
narration.
I
had
enjoyed
the
first
one
(Hindi
Medium)
and
the
way
these
writers
have
taken
the
narrative
forward
is
very
clever."
"So
yeah,
I
pretty
much
gatecrashed
the
narration
and
it
was
so
engaging
and
hilarious
that
I
told
him
I'd
be
happy
to
direct
it
if
he
had
no
director
attached
to
the
project.
It's
been
a
while
since
I've
found
any
material
so
amusing
yet
emotional,"
Adajania
said
in
a
statement.
Vijjan
and
Adajania
have
previously
worked
together
on
2006
film
"Being
Cyrus"
and
"Cocktail"
starring
Deepika
Padukone,
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Diana
Penty.
"Homi
doesn't
make
films
very
often
as
he
refuses
to
do
stuff
that
doesn't
bowl
him
over.
But
when
I
narrated
this
one
to
him,
he
loved
it.
And
when
I
saw
his
reaction,
it
was
a
no
brainer.
I
guess
from
Maddock's
stable
of
directors,
Homi
was
the
most
unlikely
choice
for
'Hindi
Medium
2' and
that's
exactly
(why)
I
have
signed
him
on,"
the
producer
said.
Directed
by
Saket
Chaudhary,
"Hindi
Medium",
which
released
last
year,
also
featured
Pakistani
actor
Saba
Qamar
and
Deepak
Dobriyal.
