Abhinay Deo

Even though Irrfan Khan had urged fans to not speculate about his "rare disease", social media went into a frenzy soon after the actor revealed that he needed medical attention. Rumour mills were abuzz with news that Khan was battling liver cancer or brain tumour, but the actor put suggestions to rest yesterday by revealing that he was suffering from a neuroendocrine tumour. Khan's condition had kept him away from the promotions of his upcoming thriller, Blackmail. However, director Abhinay Deo, who met the actor after he spoke about his condition, says Khan wants the film to release as per schedule.
