‘I’m in no hurry to be on the big screen’

Babil Khan, who is showcasing his acting talent with every project to make his own place in the entertainment industry, is in no hurry to be on the big screen. Though Babil, the son of late actor Irrfan Khan, desires to be on the big screen, he doesn’t want to rush things.

Babil Khan is among the talented star kids who has proven that acting runs in his genes. The actor, who was recently seen in the ‘Netflix’ film ‘Friday Night Plan’, spoke about the film, working with Juhi Chawla, the pressure of social media and much more.

Babil’s two projects, ‘Qala’ and ‘Friday Night Plan’, have been released on ‘Netflix’, while his next project, ‘The Railway Men’, will also release on an OTT platform.

When asked if he has the hunger to be on the silver screen, Babil said, “Obviously I want to be there, but I am in no rush to be on the big screen. I want to work. I want to do everything right now. I don’t want to be scared and restricted in exploring.”

“I don’t want to let my image restrict me from exploring. That is my agenda. So currently, a big screen or a small screen is not important. But, of course, I want to be on the big screen because that’s what I have grown up watching,” the ‘Qala’ star added.

Talking about the pressure of being active on social media, the young actor said, “I feel you become a slave to your own work because of social media. As an artiste, you need art to live. We can’t be doing these things. To express your art, you need to make a journey within yourself.”

On the work front, Babil Khan will next be seen in ‘The Railway Men’, which is about the Bhopal gas tragedy.
