Irrfan's son Babil Khan recently talked about taking his father's legacy forward in the field of acting. Babil said he 'does not want to do a big movie in which he is dancing, he wants to do films with artistic value'.
On the sidelines of IFFI 2021, Babil opened up about how he wants to take a step in the direction to become an actor. He said, "I have to do it the right way. I don't want to do a big movie in which I am dancing, it makes a 100 crore and has no artistic value. My intention is to take his (refers to his father Irrfan) legacy forward. Not to become a star. It has to be done in the right way." Babil said that he would also want to pursue direction in films as well.
Earlier replying to a comment on Instagram, Babil had revealed his acting plans and said, "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 (sic)."
Babil had earlier opened up about how Irrfan tried to elevate the standard of acting in India but was 'defeated at box office by hunks with six pack abs’. Sharing one of his father's lessons, he wrote in an Instagram post, “You know one of the most important things my father taught me as a student of cinema? Before I went to film school, he warned me that I’ll have to prove my self as Bollywood is seldom respected in world cinema and at these moments I must inform about the indian cinema that’s beyond our controlled Bollywood."
