Irrfan
Khan
was
welcomed
back
on
screen
by
members
of
the
Hindi
film
fraternity
as
well
as
his
fans,
in
the
film
Angrezi
Medium.
The
actor
gave
this
movie
everything
he
has,
as
he
was
battling
and
undergoing
treatment
for
neuroendocrine
tumor
during
its
shoot.
His
co-star,
Radhika
Madan
heaped
praises
on
Irrfan,
and
recounted
how
the
critically
acclaimed
actor
was
so
into
the
process
that
no
one
would
guess
he
was
battling
the
disease.
She
shared
how
Irrfan
was
willing
to
practice
the
lines
as
many
times
as
needed.
Talking
to
Pinkvilla
in
an
interview,
Radhika
said,
"Everybody
was
aware
of
and
sensitive
to
the
situation.
I
think
the
credit
goes
to
Dinesh
Vijan,
Homi
Adajania,
and
the
whole
team.
The
respect
that
they
gave
him
was
commendable.
Especially
for
Homi
and
Irrfan
sir,
they
understand
each
other
like
no
one
else.
Watching
Irrfan
sir
work,
no
layman
would
know
that
he
battled
with
the
disease
recently.
He
was
involved
in
the
process.
He
gave
his
200
percent.
He
would
do
lines
as
many
times
as
you
want." She
added
that
Irrfan
would
sit
and
discuss
the
scenes
with
others
after
giving
the
shot.
Deepak
Dobriyal,
who
also
starred
alongside
Irrfan,
was
astounded
by
the
actor's
perseverance.
He
said,
"Once
I
called
him
after
knowing
about
his
condition
and
asked
him
'Irrfan
bhai,
yeh
jo
role
mila
hai,
upar
wale
ne
jo
yeh
role
diya,
ab
kya
karenge,
ise
kaise
dekh
rahe
hain.'
And
he
said,
'arey
haan
bhai,
ab
upar
waale
ne
bol
diya
hai,
ab
laga
process,
hunar
nikal,
craft,
jitna
bhi,
ab
dikha.'
I
heard
that
and
I
became
emotional
that
he
said
such
things
with
humour
and
wit.
His
perseverance
and
will
to
fight
is
next
level."
Talking
about
Angrezi
Medium,
it
is
a
spin
off
to
the
2017
film,
Hindi
Medium.
It
was
directed
by
Homi
Adajania
and
produced
by
Dinesh
Vijan
and
also
stars
Kareena
Kapoor,
Dimple
Kapadia
and
Pankaj
Tripathi.
