New Delhi:
Irrfan Khan, who is currently undergoing treatment for a neuro-endocrine tumour, is reportedly on the path to recovery and will touch down in Mumbai soon. A report in Deccan Chronicle stated that Irrfan Khan may join the cast of Karwaan - his upcoming movie - for promotional duties of the film. The makers of Irrfan's next release Karwaan are hopeful that the actor will perhaps be able to join the team very soon and this is what director Akarsh Khurana told Deccan Chronicle that the entire cast and crew of the film is looking forward to his return: "We are all looking forward to Irrfan's return."
The director also shared his experience of working with the actor and said: "Irrfan's performance in Karwaan is expectedly outstanding. Working with him was a dream come true. I was intimidated at first but by the third or fourth day we had a great rapport and then on it was very comfortable and amazing," Akarsh Khurana was quoted as Deccan Chronicle as saying.
The film also stars South actor Dulquer Salmaan and Mithila Palkar, who will make their Bollywood debuts with this film. Irrfan could not do his promotional duties for his last release Blackmail, as he was taken to London, where he is currently believed to be undergoing treatment.
