Vishal Bhardwaj, who was all set to start the shoot for his upcoming film with Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone, has pushed the starting schedule for the film.
Irrfan Khan is suffering from jaundice and has put all his professional commitments on hold due to the illness.
The actor had to leave for Punjab for a shooting schedule for his political satire series The Ministry, and then start promoting his forthcoming film Blackmail. But Irrfan has been advised to take rest.

“The doctors have strictly advised complete bed rest for Irrfan. His team is working on rescheduling all his commitments in the best interest of all causing as minimal as issues to everyone,” his publicist said in a statement.
Vishal Bhardwaj took his Facebook account and informed the same, “I am pushing back the film by a few months as both of my lead actors are down with different health problems. Irrfan is down with jaundice and it will take him a few weeks to recover and Deepika Padukone’s back problem which had previously developed during the shooting of Padmaavat has now resurfaced. Her role in the film is very physically demanding and the doctor has advised her not to do any strenuous work for a couple of months.”
