A new poster of Angrezi Medium , alongside a video message from lead actor Irrfan Khan, was shared by the makers on Wednesday. The image features Irrfan standing tall as a Queen’s guard dressed in a red tunic and a bearskin as a bespectacled Radhika Madan hugs him tight.
The trailer of Angrezi Medium will be out on Thursday.
The video begins with Irrfan’s voiceover, and features stills of him with the cast and crew of Angrezi Medium. “I’m here with you today, and yet I am not. This film, Angrezi Medium, is very special for me. I truly wanted to promote this film with the same love with which we made it, " he says.
Referring to his neuroendocrine tumour as an “unwanted guest”, he says he will be unable to promote this project. He then says whether his health improves or deteriorates, he will share it with his fans.
