Radhika Madan recently reveals about the movie Angrezi Medium and Irrfan. She says that – “We didn’t have words when we got o know about it (his death). Though we were in a way mentally prepared because Homi (Adajania; director of Angrezi Medium) had told me that he’s leaving for the hospital as he hasn’t been keeping well (he was suffering from cancer) but we all thought he would make it. My heart sank when I came to know about his demise.”
Radhika Madan further adds – “I want to celebrate him and his work. He is one of the actors who inspired me to dream, to stand through the tides and get over them. His unconventional and courageous choices are something that I want to imbibe in my career. I want to be as fearlessness like him, have that passion towards my art and craft. His values and whatever I learnt while working with him is something that I would cherish forever.”
Taking about working on a film and observing, she says – “When he is on screen you don’t see anyone or anything else. There’s so much more to him than just the performer that he was. He was so giving, understanding and supportive. You could see how happy he was while working. I can’t be thankful enough to have worked with someone of his stature.”
She further adds – “I think Angrezi Medium would remain special for not just the kind of opportunity I got, the team I worked with and how much people loved it but more than anything else it let me work with one of those actors whose art has always inspired me. I wish things were different and we would have got more opportunities to witness the magic he was capable of creating on screen.”
