Amrita Singh is all set to essay the role of a school principal in the Irrfan Khan and Saba Qamar starrer Hindi Medium.

Director Saket Chaudhary says, “The principal’s character signifies authority, a woman who builds the future of children, and Amrita Singh has the quality to intimidate. She’s dressed in sarees that were carefully chosen to emphasize that she has taste and that lend her an air of authority.”

Interestingly, the school portions shown in the film were shot in Amrita’s alma mater, Modern School, in Delhi. She was the one who suggested it and was happy to go back to school.

Hindi Medium sees Irrfan khan in the role of a rich Punjabi businessman and clothes store owner from Chandni Chowk who along with his wife is eager to be accepted in the Capital’s elite circles.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan and Bhushan Kumar, Hindi Medium is all set to release on 12th May 2017.
