Irrfan Khan Is Actively Promoting Karwaan: Producer

“Karwaan” producer Priti Rathi Gupta says ailing actor Irrfan Khan, despite his condition, is quite actively promoting the film on social media and that his loyal fans are waiting for the movie to be released.

Irrfan, who is undergoing treatment in London for a neuroendocrine tumour, is unable to be physically present to participate in the promotion of the film.

“Irrfan is very much actively supporting and promoting the film. I know he is going through a journey and we are missing him around, we are missing his physical presence. But in the digital era, we all can be involved in things on social media. That is exactly what he is doing by promoting the film on social media. So I do not think his absence from the promotional activity will affect the film in anyway,” Gupta told IANS.

Irrfan is not only a known name in the Bollywood world, but also in the international film circuit for having worked in films like “The Namesake“, “A Mighty Heart“, “Slumdog Millionaire“, “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Life of Pi“.

“I know for a fact that he has his loyal fans across the world and everyone is looking forward to watching the film. We were more than glad to know that he agreed to do the film in the beginning. He has done a fantastic job as always,” Gupta added.

The producer, who also backed the film “Waiting” with her banner Ishka Films alongside Drishyam Films, said she nurtured the idea of making “Karwaan” for a long time because the story is “so fabulous”.
