Continuing with his eclectic choice of films, Pankaj Tripathi will now be seen in a cameo in Irrfan Khan's Angrezi Medium, the sequel to his 2017 hit Hindi Medium. The comedy marks Khan's return to Bollywood after he took a year-long break to seek treatment for neuroendocrine tumour.

It won't be wrong to say that the National Award-winning actor has become a permanent fixture in Vijan's productions. Having collaborated with him in Stree (2018) and the recent Luka Chuppi, the producer admits it's impossible to conceptualise a film without Tripathi.
