CHINESE MEDIUM COMING NEXT?
Following the success of Hindi Medium in China since its release in 2017, makers of the film are supposedly considering the next instalment already – this time in China! Producer Dinesh Vijan shared a happy incident of being recognised for the film during a visit to China in 2019 when a waitress at a restaurant came running to tell him how she’d seen the film with her young daughter and that “it really connected” with her.
“With Angrezi Medium, we have taken the story out of our country, and because the daughter is older and wants to study in the UK, the crisis is bigger for Irrfan's character, who, this time, is a single parent,” Vijan explained. “Since the Chinese are all around the globe and are sending their kids abroad for higher studies while struggling with the language barrier, I think the world now deserves a Chinese Medium!”
Now wouldn’t that be fun?
