Irrfan
Khan
will
be
seen
on
the
screen
for
the
first
time
since
his
cancer
diagnosis
in
Angrezi
Medium.
The
film
is
a
comedy-drama
directed
by
Homi
Adajania,
and
it
stars
Radhika
Madan,
Ranvir
Shorey,
and
Dimple
Kapadia.
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
and
Pankaj
Tripathi
have
cameo
roles
in
the
film.
Talking
about
how
much
he
reveres
Irrfan
Khan,
Pankaj
recently
revealed
that
he
agreed
to
do
the
cameo
only
because
of
the
chance
to
work
with
him.
He
said
that
he
offered
his
role
in
the
film
as
'guru
dakshina'
to
Irrfan.
"I've
always
been
inspired
by
Irrfan's
performances
as
an
actor.
He
has
had
a
huge
impact
on
my
life,
especially
with
his
performances
from
Haasil,
Maqbool,
The
Warrior,
and
Pan
Singh
Tomar.
My
guru
and
also
my
senior
from
the
National
School
of
Drama,
I
have
always
wanted
to
impact
audiences
the
way
he
does.
His
contribution
has
been
greatly
acknowledged
in
the
Indian
Cinema
and
my
role
in
this
film
is
almost
like
my
'guru
dakshina'
to
him," Pankaj
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Hindustan
Times.
Angrezi
Medium
revolves
around
the
story
of
a
father
(Irrfan)
who
does
whatever
he
can
to
arrange
finances
for
his
daughter's
(Radhika)
admission
at
a
university
in
London.
The
makers
of
the
film
recently
shared
that
they
waited
to
do
the
film
with
Irrfan
for
over
a
year,
as
there
was
no
alternative
to
him.
Irrfan
was
undergoing
treatment
for
cancer
at
the
time.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
hit
theatres
on
March
20.
