Babil Khan’s entry into movies now has a release date. The newcomer, who is the son of late actor Irrfan Khan, is all set to captivate the world with his much-awaited screen debut in Anvitaa Dutt’s ‘Qala’. Featuring a stunning ensemble cast of Babil Khan, Tripti Dimri, Swastika Mukherjee and Amit Sial, the period musical drama is set to release exclusively on Netflix on December 1, 2022.
Babil announced the release date by sharing a set of intriguing stills from ‘Qala’. In one, Babil, wearing a regal outfit, stands striking a mysterious pose in a candle-lit room. Another picture shows the effervescent Tripti Dimri playing the sitar.
Set in the ’30s and late ’40s, ‘Qala’ tells the story of a young playback singer and how the past catches up with her, causing her to unravel at the peak of her success.
Excited Babil Khan shared, “I have never been fond of the word ‘debut’ or its implications as the story is and will always be greater than the individual; let’s say the first time I worked in a film as an actor was a period of rigorous personal evolution through a very difficult time. For this I am exceptionally grateful to the makers of this film and of this universe.”
Babil also has the upcoming series ‘The Railway Men’ from YRF Entertainment on his cards.
