On Monday Dinesh Vijan announced that Homi Adajani will be directing the sequel of Irrfan Khan’s hit film ‘Hindi Medium’. The filmmaker has expressed that the film’s story is amusing yet emotional. “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,” added Adajania.
He further 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.”
Dinesh and Homi have worked in films like ‘Being Cyrus’ and ‘Cocktail’. The original was directed by Saket Chaudhary, the film 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 actor Saba Qamar.
Dinesh Vijan said: “Homi doesn’t make films very often as he refuses to do stuff that doesn’t bowl him over. But when I narrated this one to him, he loved it. And when I saw his reaction, it was a no-brainer. I guess from Maddock’s stable of directors, Homi was the most unlikely choice for 'Hindi Medium 2' and that’s exactly I have signed him on.”
‘Hindi Medium 2’ will be flash-forward by a decade and it will portray the story of Irrfan’s character Raj.
