The actor shared a picture from the set of the movie, which is currently being shot in Udaipur, Rajasthan. "GMB (Ghasiteram Mishthan Bhandar) serving since the 1900s. It's going to be fun to tell another story #AngreziMedium," Irrfan captioned the picture. In the photo, the 52-year-old actor can be seen dressed up as his character Champak.

 

According to the synopsis, Irrfan and Deepak Dobriyal will play brothers in the film who have inherited a 100-year-old sweet business and are also rivals. A distant cousin, played by Manu Rishi, who owns the biggest sweet shop also adds to the rivalry within the family.

The film features Radhika Madan as Irrfan's daughter and talks are on for another leading lady. Angrezi Medium is directed by Homi Adjania and produced by Dinesh Vijan.

Meanwhile, Irrfan recently made a comeback to Twitter and in a statement, he expressed his gratitude towards his fans for standing by him during his health crisis. "Maybe somewhere in the pursuit of winning, we forget how much it means to be loved. In our vulnerability, we are reminded," he wrote.
