Irrfan Khan's who were hoping to see him in an Amazon web series will have to wait. The 51-year-old actor, who is currently battling a rare form of cancer, has opted out of Amazon's upcoming web series Gormint, which is being made in collaboration with comedy conglomerate AIB, as per an update posted on his Facebook account. Irrfan wrote that he had to exit the project after working on it for months because of his current medical condition: "Ministry, now known as Gormint, the Amazon Video series I have been working on with the team at AIB, was one of my most favourite ongoing projects. After shooting for months and after having a ballistic time on set, I discovered my now on-going physical condition.

In his note, Irrfan added that his team and AIB tried to figure out a way about completing the project but his current medical condition does not allow him to go on with the show: "I am gutted by this development because the character and the show thrilled me, and I even lived with the character for several months before having to cut the journey short. But after extensive discussions, workarounds and sincere efforts by everyone involved, the situation prevents me from being able to do the show entirely. And thus I must, at this time, exit stage left."

Irrfan Khan is currently in London undergoing treatment for neuroendocrine tumour. At the beginning of this month, in an interview to Hindustan Times, Irrfan Khan revealed he underwent the fourth cycle of chemotherapy and is awaiting two more. The actor also revealed that he received positive feedback after the third round of chemotherapy. In a statement on March 16, Irrfan Khan announced that he's been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, after which he resurfaced on social media either to share health updates or promote Karwaan, which released earlier this month. He also changed his display picture on his social media accounts a few times since he opened up about being diagnosed with neuroendocrine.
