New Delhi, April 6 (IANS) Irrfan Khans "Angrezi Medium" released at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic was starting to hit India, resulting in the closure of theatres around the country. Now with the film finding its way onto the digital medium, the team of the movie got a chance to reunite, virtually, and watch it together.

Talking about the film coming on a streaming service, Kareena said: "Naina is always going to be a special character for me. But more importantly, as an artist, it is fascinating to explore new mediums to reach audiences. I can't wait to catch ‘Angrezi Medium' on Disney+Hostar VIP -- the film is a sure shot cure for these isolation blues."
