Soon, after ‘Angrezi Medium’ was released on March 13, 2020, in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, theaters throughout the country were closed, Later, the movie had its digital premiere on the newly re-branded Disney+ Hotstar.
Now, Actor-comedian Kiku Sharda who was also a part of ‘Angrezi Medium’ spoke in detail on how the movie did not get a proper run at the Box Office.
Talking to IANS, “It’s crazy and really sad. I really wish that Angrezi Medium would have released a little earlier or little after — at least, we would have had a proper release. The movie was taken down after one day of release. It is such a beautiful film and Irrfan Khan hasn’t done a film in a long time, given his health conditions. It was such an important thing for everyone to see him, and I was really hoping that people would get a chance to see him in theatre,” said Kiku.
Kiku also stated that Irrfan Khan was the reason he accepted the film. “I knew Irrfan was doing the movie and that was reason enough for me to join the ensemble cast. I knew my character and brief, but the selling item was Irrfan Khan. I would get to work with him, share screen space with him, so that was enough for me. I have loved, adored and admired Irrfan Khan’s work. Some of his movies are remarkable. So, working with him has been an honor and pleasure for me.”
Aside from Irrfan and Kiku, the movie also stars Radhika Madan, Pankaj Tripathi, Deepak Dobriyal, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranvir Shorey. Helmed by Homi Adajania.
