Mumbai, Dec 10 (NationPress) Actor Babil Khan has successfully continued his father’s legacy with the screening of his film 'Log Out' at the 24th River to River Indian Film Festival in Florence, Italy, marking ten years since his father Irrfan’s film 'Qissa' was featured at the festival.
On December 7, 2014, Irrfan Khan was a special guest at the 14th River to River Indian Film Festival in Florence, Italy, where his acclaimed film Qissa, directed by Anup Singh, was showcased, further solidifying his legacy.
In 'Log Out', Babil takes on the role of a contemporary influencer struggling with the complexities of digital fame. As his character reaches the peaks of online success, he encounters the darker repercussions of a life dictated by the digital realm. The film’s relevant themes and stimulating narrative have resonated with both viewers and critics, establishing Babil as a rising star in Indian cinema.
During the premiere, Babil shared insights about the film, 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 went on to explain, "The film explores what occurs when our values become entangled with superficial means of validation for our disillusioned self-worth, when all of our creativity is driven by that. The story reflects our generation's tendency to cling to social media, the alarming rise in our demand for instant gratification, and the commercialization of ideals, happiness, and positivity as commodities."
The screening of 'Log Out' at the Florence Indian Film Festival not only highlights Babil’s artistic path but also serves as a poignant homage to his father’s lasting impact.
