Mumbai, Dec 10 (NationPress) Actor Babil Khan upholds his father’s legacy as his film ‘Log Out’ was showcased at the 24th edition of the River to River Indian Film Festival in Florence, Italy, a decade after his father Irrfan’s film ‘Qissa’ was presented at the festival.
On December 7, 2014, Irrfan Khan attended the 14th River to River Indian Film Festival in Florence, Italy, as a distinguished guest. The festival featured his critically acclaimed film Qissa, directed by Anup Singh, embedding his legacy into its history.
In ‘Log Out’, Babil takes on the role of a contemporary influencer struggling with the complexities of digital fame. As his character rises to the pinnacle of online success, he confronts the grim repercussions of a life dictated by the digital landscape. The film’s relevant themes and thought-provoking storyline have resonated with both audiences and critics, affirming Babil’s status as a burgeoning talent in Indian cinema.
At the premiere, Babil articulated the film’s core message, stating, “I’ll just tell you what the film is about. Today in our generation, in the age of social media, the motive of creation changes to complete validation rather than creation itself, and that’s what it does to a human being. This film is about that.”
He elaborated, “The film is about what happens when our values become absorbed by superficial means of validation for our disillusioned self-worth, when all of our creation stems from that. The story reflects our generation’s status quo, clinging to social media, the alarming rise in our need for instant gratification, and the consumerism of marketing ideals, happiness, and positivity as commodities.”
The premiere of Log Out at the Florence Indian Film Festival not only celebrates Babil’s cinematic journey but also stands as a heartfelt homage to his father’s lasting impact.
