Education has become a business, says Irrfan

Mumbai, April 8: Internationally acclaimed star Irrfan Khan, who launched the trailer of his upcoming film "Hindi Medium", feels that education has become a business in the country."Through our film you will realise education has become a business now. It is absolutely important to have education, but at the same time it should flourish the capabilities of a person and it should evolve the personality of the human being," Irrfan said at the trailer launch on Thursday. The "Piku" star feels that "education now has become more of a tool to fix a human being into a corporate system or a particular profession".The film deals with the stereotype of sending the children to an English medium school as the language has become a class nowadays from just being a language. Irrfan says the film gives a subtle message that language cannot be a unit to measure and judge an individual s worthiness. "It has become our mental state. My mother also did my admission in English school. This film gives a message that English is not the unit of measure, to judge a person s worthiness...It s just a language to communicate. It is not that you can t become successful in life if you don t know how to speak English..." he said.The film is directed by Saket Chaudhary, and has been described as a light-hearted romantic film about a young couple in Chandni Chowk, Delhi, who aspire to move into society s upper crust.The film will release May 12. "Hindi Medium" is presented by T-Series and Maddock films. It has been produced by Dinesh Vijan and Bhushan Kumar.
