Dismissing the rumours, producer Dinesh Vijan told Bollywood Hungama that there is no truth behind Irrfan shooting for the sequel anytime soon. When the producer was asked about the development of the film he said, “Right now, everything is speculation. Irrfan had just come back to town. It’s the script that is ready. Hopefully, in another one month, we’ll have clarity.”

The portal had earlier claimed that Irrfan will not return to work for at least for a year. A friend of Irrfan was quoted saying as, “Irrfan is recuperating slowly. He won’t be returning to acting for a while now. The process of healing is slow and exhausting. Even after full recovery, he won’t be allowed to get back to work for at least a year. So there is no question of doing ‘Hindi Medium 2’ or any other film in the immediate future.”

Earlier, there were reports of Kareena being cast opposite Irrfan in this sequel. However, the latest buzz suggests that Radhika Apte has been signed for the film now.

We shall wait for the official confirmation from the makers. Till then, keep reading this space for more such updates.
