Irrfan Khan has been battling a life-threatening disease for nearly two years now. The actor was undergoing treatment for neuroendocrine tumour in London before he returned to India a few months ago to honour his work commitments.

He will soon be seen in Homi Adajania‘s Angrezi Medium alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan, Radhika Madan, Dimple Kapadia, Deepak Dobriyal, Pankaj Tripathi and others. The trailer is all set to release tomorrow but unfortunately, Khan’s health issues won’t allow him to be present at the trailer launch or for further promotions. He recorded a bittersweet voice message along with a video montage of a few stills from the film to share his predicament with fans.

Fair warning: Keep tissues handy.

We’ll wait for you, Irrfan. And we know you’ll bounce back soon enough, with yet another incredible performance.
