A Pakistani news anchor named Zainab Abbas shared the picture on her Twitter account and captioned it, “Pic shared by @Furqan013 – there’s actor Irfan Khan enjoying the match at Lord’s”. Recently filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who has worked with Irrfan Khan in Piku said that Irrfan is responding well to the treatment and he would be collaborating again with him for another film. “I’ve been speaking to both Irrfan and his wife (Sutapa Sikdar), he’s responding well to the treatment and trying to cope with the knowledge that he’s battling neuroendocrine tumour by treating the recuperation in Europe like a short and unexpected holiday. I’m planning to visit him next month.”
Shoojit confirmed that he will star in Udham Singh biopic and will portray the titular character. “I have been working on the story for 18-19 years now. When I shifted to Mumbai, this was the first film that I wanted to make but something else would always come up. It is set in the pre-Independence era, so it was a little difficult to plan.” Sircar said that hopefully, the film will go on floors at the end of this year but will wait till Irrfan recovers completely.
