Actor Irrfan Khan issues a statement on the social media. He wrote, “The unexpected makes us grow, which is what the past few days have been about. Learning that I have been diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Tumour as of now has admittedly been difficult, but the love and strength of those around me and that I found within me has brought me to a place of hope. The journey of this is taking me out of the country, and I request everyone to continue sending their wishes.”

Blackmail director Abhinay Deo opened up about Irrfan Khan’s health and stated we should respect his privacy.

Talking about Irrfan, filmmaker Abhinay said, “I met him, he is fine and in good spirits, that is, of course, we know that he is not well. So I think he is right now away for his treatment and we should respect the family and their privacy on this particular matter. I don’t have anything more to share with you, till now we know as much as you know”

The entire team of Blackmail, which included Kirti Kulharai, Divya Dutta, Arunoday Singh and Omi Vaidya were present at the film promotion.

Award winning actress Divya Dutta, who has worked with Irrfan Khan in four films also spoke about her experience of working with the veteran star.

She said, “I have done about four films with him. When I first met him on the sets of Dubai Returns, I got to know what Irrfan Khan is all about. We would not rehearse and he would very charming smiles and say, we will see it in shot”

“And during the shot the magic he would create and improvise, I think it is a treat for actors, because acting is all about reactions, and when you have someone like Irrfan Khan in front of you, one doesn’t really need to work hard”

Further adding Divya Dutta said, “I am really waiting for him to come back and give us some more magical films”

Blackmail is an upcoming black comedy drama film co-produced and directed by Abhinay Deo.
