Babil Khan feels that if he wasn’t Irrfan Khan’s son, nobody would have cared about his debut – Times of India

In an interview with a news portal, Babil said that if he were not Irrfan Khan’s son, nobody would have cared about his debut. He would have been just an actor trying to get into films, auditioning, and maybe getting a part. The budding actor feels that getting recognised through your work is so much greater than inheriting recognition. According to him, the words ‘debut’, and ‘launch’, always make the individual greater than the story and the film.

Elaborating further, he added that from the get-go, he wanted to honour his mother’s upbringing. When he got the film, he was happy that he was playing a supporting character in a female-led film and added that it was very important to him. The Khan lad went on to add that he doesn’t feel easy at all, and it makes him very uncomfortable.

Directed by Anvita Dutt, ‘Qala’ also stars Tripti Dimri and Swastika Mukherjee and chronicles the complicated relationship between a singer and her mother against the background of 1940s in Kolkata. In the film, Babil appears as Tripti’s rival. It is slated for an OTT release on December 1.
