Irrfan’s health issues
ACTOR Irrfan Khan, pictured, said he would not be able to fulfil his acting commitment to the Amazon Prime Original Series Gormint (formerly known as Ministry) due to his “ongoing situation”.
Irrfan posted on Facebook saying that the Amazon Prime Original Series that he had been working on with the team at All India Bakchod was one of his favourite ongoing projects.
“After shooting for months and having a ballistic time on set, I discovered my now ongoing physical condition. With a heavy heart I would like to say that, due to this ongoing situation,
I will not be able to fulfil my acting commitment to the show,” Irrfan wrote.
“I am gutted by this development because the character and the show thrilled me and I even lived with the character for months before having to cut the journey.”
The Karwaan actor is still excited to see the final product. Earlier this year, Irrfan informed via social media that his life was shaken up by a “rare disease” and he was “fighting for choices”. A few days later, he said he was diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumour.
“Irrfan Khan, actor extraordinaire and star of Amazon Prime Original Series, Gormint (formerly known as Ministry) today announced the joint decision by the creators and him to no longer be cast in the show owing to his health situation,” Vijay Subramaniam, the director and head of content at Amazon Prime Video, India, said in a statement
issued.
