He disapproves of the word debut. When pushed to elaborate, he replied that if he wasn’t Irrfan Khan’s son, nobody would have bothered about his debut. Babil continued, “I would have been just an actor trying to get into films, auditioning, and maybe getting a part. Getting recognised through your work is so much greater than inheriting recognition.” He also said that according to him the words debut and launch make the individual greater than the story and the film. “ “From the get-go, I wanted to honour my mother’s upbringing. When I got the film I was happy that I was playing a supporting character in a female-led film, it was very important to me,” Babil said.

Qala Qala is directed by Anvita Dutt. It stars Tripti Dimri and Swastika Mukherjee and portrays the difficult connection between a singer and her mother in 1940s Kolkata. The film depicts Babil as Tripti’s competitor. It’s produced by Karnesh Ssharma’s Clean Slate Filmz and will release on Netflix on December 1.

Irrfan Khan died in April 2020 after a two-year fight with a neuroendocrine malignancy. Babil keeps posting old memories on social media. The Piku star is also survived by his younger son, Ayaan Khan.
