The forthcoming movie also features Kareena Kapoor Khan in a pivotal role.
Kareena plays a cop in the film while Radhika essays the role of Irrfan’s daughter who wishes to pursue higher studies in the UK. The film also stars Dimple Kapadia.
Irrfan had earlier shared a picture on his Twitter handle from the sets of the film, where he introduced his character Champak, who is a sweet shop owner. Deepak Dobriyal and Manu Rishi play Irrfan’s brother and cousin, respectively, in the film. The trio run sweet shops and are rivals.
‘Angrezi Medium’ is the sequel to the 2017 hit film ‘Hindi Medium’, which starred Irrfan and Saba Qamar in the lead roles.
