New Delhi, Feb 19 (UNI) Director Homi Adajania to direct 'Hindi Medium 2' which will be produced under Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films banner, trade sources said on Monday.

The duo Dinesh Vijan and Homi Adajania have collaborated for films like 'Being Cyrus' and 'Cocktail'.

'Homi doesn’t make films very often as he refuses to do stuff that doesn’t bowl him over. But when I narrated this one to him, he loved it. And when I saw his reaction, it was a no–brainer. I guess from Maddock’s stable of directors, Homi was the most unlikely choice for Hindi Medium 2. That’s exactly why I have signed him on,' Dinesh Vijan said.

'I ambled into Dinesh's room and he was sitting down to a narration. I had enjoyed the first one and the way these writers have taken the narrative forward is very clever. So yeah, I pretty much gate-crashed the narration. It was so engaging and hilarious that I told him I’d be happy to direct it if he had no director attached to the project. It’s been a while since I’ve found any material so amusing yet emotional,' Homi added.

'Hindi Medium' won Filmfare awards for the best film including best actor award for Irrfan Khan.

'Hindi Medium 2' story will be flash forwarded by a decade. The film will feature Irrfan Khan as Raj. However, now it will be as much as Raj’s story as much as his daughter Pia’s. Pia has finished high school in 'Hindi Medium' and figuring what to do next.
