Irrfan Khan's Health Update: The Actor Will Be Back in India to Promote Karwaan

Every well-wisher and admirer of Irrfan Khan has this one question to ask about the star - where is he on the road to recovery? The National award-winning actor has shockingly revealed through Twitter that he is suffering from a rare but deadly condition called Neuroendocrine tumour. Irrfan Khan then mentioned that he will be taking a break to recuperate from the disease, leaving for London to do so.

Then after a silence of two months, Irrfan Khan surprised us last week, when he tweeted about Karwaan new poster. Now there is a speculation going on that the actor is on his road to recovery and that he will be in India soon to promote Karwaan. The director of the movie Akarsh Khurana confirmed about Irrfan Khan's return to Times of India.

Speaking to the publication, he revealed, "We are all looking forward to Irrfan’s return. 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. It was a big shock. I heard of his illness soon after he saw the film and gave me very constructive feedback. We were all quite devastated. We are hoping and praying for his recovery."

However, some reports state that this will be a very short visit as Irrfan will only be in Mumbai to promote the film, and then return to London to complete the recovery process. Karwaan, a road trip comedy, also stars Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan (making his Bollywood debut) and YouTube icon Mithila Palkar. The movie is scheduled to release in India on August 10.
