Manu Rishi had worked with late actor Irrfan Khan in the film 'Angrezi Medium'. Recently Manu had said that he has buried Irrfan Khan. Saying this, Manu started crying.

Manu was angry with the director, Irrfan Khan supported him
In an interview to 'The Red Mike', Manu told how Irrfan recommended him to write a film for a big director. Despite writing 11 films, the director did not trust Manu. Regarding this, Manu said, 'Knowing this, I told the director – either you trust my work or trust Irrfan Bhai's recommendation. You have not seen my work. Otherwise you would not have asked me this question.

How would you feel if I asked you to direct and perform a scene? Manu said that Irrfan Khan came to meet him on the night of the incident. Instead of scolding Manu, he supported Manu for telling the truth about the director.

Manu said- I just wanted to hug Irfan bhai
Manu further said- When the shooting of Hindi Medium started, I called the director. I told him- Don't you have any role in the prequel of 'Angrezi Medium'? Don't you have even a small place where I can hug Irrfan Bhai?

After this I got a call from Irrfan bhai and he said- I am sending you a ticket. Come to Udaipur in two days. I went there only to hug Irrfan bhai. I could not take action at that time. He is no more, but I still have his messages.

Manu applied sandalwood to Irrfan Khan before burying him.
Manu also recalled how he almost missed seeing Irrfan for the last time. He said- I almost missed seeing him for the last time. But the cemetery was near my house. When I reached there, everyone was standing at the gate of the crematorium. Due to the Covid guidelines, the police did not let anyone go inside. I had nothing to do with the officer standing there, but he let me go inside. 'I applied sandalwood to Irrfan Bhai before burying him.'
