Hindi Medium 2 amusing yet emotional: Adajania

Homi Adajania will be directing the sequel to Hindi Medium with actor Irrfan Khan playing the lead. The filmmaker says the film’s story is very “amusing yet emotional”. The news of Adajania getting on board to direct the quirky franchise comedy for Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock films banner was announced on Monday. 

“I ambled into Dinoo’s (Vijan) room and he was sitting down to a narration. I had enjoyed the first one (Hindi Medium) and the way these writers have taken the narrative forward is very clever,” Adajania said. 

“So yeah, I pretty much gate-crashed the narration and it was so engaging and hilarious that I told him I’d be happy to direct it if he had no director attached to the project. It’s been a while since I’ve found any material so amusing yet emotional,” he added. Vijan and Adajania have worked on films Being Cyrus and Cocktail. 

Directed by Saket Chaudhary, Hindi Medium revolves around a couple who wants to give their daughter the best education so that she becomes accepted by the elite in society. It also features Pakistani actress Saba Qamar. Irrfan has come on board for the sequel. —IANS
