Is Irrfan Khan returning to India for Hindi Medium 2?
After being diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer, Irrfan Khan has been in the States for treatment, leading to his films like Blackmail premiering without his presence. Several of his film projects have also been stalled - but latest rumours suggest that this is set to change.
According to Times of India, rumours say that Irrfan has responded well to treatment and is expected to return to India after the Diwali festival. The rumours further say that he'll be shooting the sequel of his recent hit Hindi Medium, in which he starred with Pakistani actor Saba Qamar.
When contacted, his team did not exactly confirm the rumour but conceded that "there is a possibility of him returning to India after Diwali."
We're sure that's consolation enough for his fans in India, who so far have only been hearing from the beloved actor through his tweets.
In one of his latest updates on Twitter, Irrfan had talked about his battle with cancer:"As if all this while, you were just getting to know pain, and now you know his nature and his intensity. Nothing was working; NO consolation, no motivation. The entire cosmos becomes one at that moment – just PAIN, and pain felt more enormous than GOD."
Here's hoping rumours about his successful treatment are true too.
