The buzz about Irrfan shooting for the film, which is a sequel to his 2017 movie "Hindi Medium", had started earlier this week when he was spotted at the Mumbai airport.
On Friday, producer Dinesh Vijan released a photograph that confirmed Irrfan's return to work.
The image has Vijan, director Homi Adajania, actor Deepak Dobriyal, cinematographer Anil Mehta and Irrfan posing together.
Directed by Homi Adajania "Angrezi Medium" will tell a new story about Irrfan’s onscreen daughter who goes to London for higher studies.

While Kareena Kapoor is being reportedly signed opposite Irrfan’c character, Pataakha actor Radhika Madan has been confirmed for the role of his daughter in the film.
In March 2018, Irrfan had announced his diagnosis and said that he was going abroad for treatment. He returned to India in February this year.
"Hindi Medium", one of the top grossers of 2017, revolved around a well-off Chandni Chowk couple in Delhi (played by Irrfan and actress Saba Qamar) who aspired to break into the elite society and give their daughter the best education possible.
