Homi Adajania’s bad luck in 2020
In the year 2020, Homi Adajania collaborated with Irrfan Khan and brought the film Angrezi Medium. Everything was fine with this film and due to the success of the first part, it was getting good hype. Just the timing of releasing this film was not right and the film came at a time when Corona virus had started and in view of its danger, lockdown was imposed. In such a situation, even after the film was good and received praise from people, it could not make a good collection in the theatres. After this, Homi made his next move on OTT but he did not get success there too and his film with Pankaj Tripathi did not get a good audience. Now the actor is preparing to play a big bet at the box office through the film Cocktail 2. In such a situation, it remains to be seen what result his return brings. Apart from Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur and Rashmika Mandanna are in lead roles in the film.
