'Angrezi Medium' is the sequel to 2017 hit film 'Hindi Medium'. The sequel, as per reports, will have a new storyline.

It marks Irrfan's comeback into Bollywood as the actor was on a break from the filmy scene after being diagnosed with NeuroEndocrine Tumour – a rare form of cancer.

It was in 2018 that Irrfan shared the news of his illness, leaving everybody in shock.

The actor returned to Mumbai earlier this month and the film went on floors on April 5.

It is indeed a relief to see the actor in good health.

Here's wishing good luck to the entire team of 'Angrezi Medium'.
