Irrfan Khan's Hindi Medium NOT COPIED from Bengali film Ramdhanu, clarifies director Saket Chaudhary

The theatrical trailer of Irrfan Khan's next - Hindi Medium was launched a few days back and the promo has got the audience talking. But following the launch, rumours have been floating around alleging that the film begets similarities with the Bengali movie 'Ramdhanu'.

But now, the film's director Saket Chaudhary has refuted all such claims and released an official statement on the same. Here's what he said -

'Hindi Medium' is a story about how education that is supposed to be a tool of enlightenment has become a tool to create inequality. This inequality is created on the basis of English  schools versus regional language schools, private schools versus government schools. We have researched​ our script over a year and it is based on original material. I would request everyone involved to not rush to a judgement without ascertaining the facts. And the facts can easily be confirmed by watching Hindi Medium on 12th May.
