Revealing that he has been in touch with the ailing actor, Karwaan director Akarsh recounts working with him on his upcoming comedy

Khan and Khurana in Karwaan
Even as cinephiles continue to pray for actor Irrfan Khan's speedy recovery, another of his films is set to hit screens next month. Karwaan will be the second movie starring Khan to release after he announced that he had been diagnosed with a 'rare condition'. Director Akarsh Khurana says he has been "sporadically" in touch with Khan, even as producer Ronnie Screwvala is "speaking to him regularly, and updating us."
As he continues to heal on foreign turf, Khan is keeping a watch on his ventures in India. "[He had seen] the first cut [of the film] before he took ill, and the final cut, recently. He spoke with me after that, and seems pleased with the way it has shaped up," says the actor-director, adding that any scope of participation in the film's promotions will depend on Khan's health. "His recovery is of utmost importance."
