Babil Khan is set to embark on an exciting new chapter in his acting journey as he makes his Malayalam cinema debut with filmmaker Babu Janardhanan’s upcoming directorial titled Gandhi Bazar Sunday Market.
Babil Khan to make Malayalam debut
The project will see Babil step into the rich and nuanced world of Malayalam storytelling, an industry celebrated for its depth and authenticity.
Having steadily carved a space for himself through emotionally resonant performances and unconventional choices, Babil’s foray into Malayalam cinema underscores his commitment to pushing creative boundaries and embracing stories across languages.
The film will feature Babil alongside an accomplished ensemble cast including Aparna Balamurali, Deepak Parambol, Nikhil Nair, Johny Antony, Jagadish, Sudheer Karamana, Unni Raja, Athmiya, and Jayashankar.
As per sources, “Babil has always been drawn to stories that challenge him and allow him to grow as an artist. Stepping into Malayalam cinema with a project of this scale and creative depth is an incredibly exciting moment. It reflects his desire to explore powerful narratives beyond boundaries and collaborate with storytellers who inspire him.”
Babil Khan`s work front
Last December, Babil Khan posted a few videos of his Muay Thai training sessions in Thailand. That got us wondering whether it was a new skill the actor was picking up, or his prep for a project. Turns out, it’s the latter. The buzz is that Khan is prepping for an action drama, which is being mounted by a leading studio.
While details about Babil`s upcoming project are sparse at this point, a source close to the development told us that the shoot is expected to kick off in May. The source shared, “Babil has been training six days a week. His regimen includes pad work, bag drills, clinch techniques, sparring, and strength conditioning.”
He will also be seen in another film, which remains untitled. In March, the actor commenced shooting for his next in Bhopal. He had also posted a video from his vanity van and mentioned, “Back to the grind, time to make you proud again.”
A source close to the development had then shared, “Babil has been excited to be back on set. Acting is something that grounds him, and being in front of the camera again feels very natural to him. The message shared is from the sets of his next project, which he just began shooting for in Bhopal”.
