Babil Khan, young actor and son of Irrfan Khan has got heaps of praises from Amitabh Bachchan. The Bollywood super star on Monday tweeted out words of praise, support and encouragement for Anvita Dutt Guptan’s upcoming Netflix movie Qala. It stars Tripti Dimri, Babil Khan and Swastika Mukherjee in pivotal roles.
Senior Bachchan’s post read, “Anvita ji .. Wishing all the very best .. looking quite different .. good to see the making as well ..(sic).” Big B had also shared a short clip of the film’s making while showering praise on the writer-director’s latest venture.
Babil Khan gets a big pat from Amitabh Bachchan for his debut film Qala
Interestingly, Amitabh Bachchan had worked with Qala actor Babil Khan’s father, the late Irrfan Khan in the beloved Shoojit Sircar directorial Piku. The film marks Babil’s debut in the Hindi film industry. The film’s star, Tripti Dimri, was earlier seen in Anvita Dutt’s directorial debut, Bulbbul.
About a week ago, Tripti had taken to Twitter to share that she has finished shooting the first schedule of Qala. “Wrapped up the first schedule of Qala… Super happy and excited to be joining hands with such an amazing and enthusiastic team for the second time.. @officialcsfilms @anushkasharma @kans26 @anvita_dee @babil.i.k @swastikamukherjee13 @siddharthdiwan @lifaafa_ @veerakapuree,” the talented actor had tweeted at the time.
In his instagram post Babil Khan expressed Tripti freaking Dimri is back again!!!!!! Whooooooo!!! (and a little bit of me ❤️) Also I’m a bit skeptical about the phrase ‘getting launched’ because the audience should launch off their seats while watching our film and not any individual actor.
“From the creators of Bulbbul, Clean Slate Filmz and Anvita Dutt, we bring you #Qala, a Netflix Original film.
Qala will be here soon to share her story of her fight for a place in her mother’s heart.” |
Qala has been described as a mother-daughter love story. In a previous statement to the media, Anvita had stated, “Mother-daughter relationships are sacred and often complicated. Qala is a beautiful, heart-breaking story about a daughter who craves her mother’s love.
I am ecstatic to have such incredible actors on-board and cannot wait for the world to discover the film with Tripti, Babil and Swastika. It’s always a pleasure to partner with Clean Slate Filmz and Netflix as they believe in bringing to life empowered stories like Bulbbul, and now Qala.”
Babil studied films and acting in London. Earlier this year, he said in an interaction with a follower that he was planning to consider acting offers after his graduation. Responding to a fan, who asked Babil about his venture into the “field of acting” on Instagram, Babil had replied: “I am already in the field of acting, when I will appear in a film is the question. Once I have graduated around May, I will start looking into offers.”
