Irrfan Khan’s son Babil Khan to work with famed director Shoojit Sircar

Actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil Khan has bagged his second project, which will be helmed by National Award-winning filmmaker Shoojit Sircar.

Producer Ronnie Lahiri of Rising Sun Pictures, took to social media to make the big announcement. On Instagram, producer Ronnie Lahiri shared the news of their collaboration as he remembered 'legend' Irrfan. However, he didn't share details about the project. Ronnie also shared a series of pictures with Babil Khan and Shoojit Sircar. In the first picture, the trio is seen posing for the camera. In the next two photos, they are seen engrossed in discussions.

Ronnie captioned the post, "Honoured to take forward your legacy Irrfan sir. Worked with a legend like you, And now Babil. If this is not Providence, what is? @babil.i.k @shoojitsircar @filmsrisingsun."

Babil also shared the same pictures on his Instagram account and captioned, "Honoured to work with you legends (aye it's a shame we didn't take a picture together @zaynmarie)."

Irrfan Khan, who died on April 29 last year, had worked together on the 2015 comedy-drama Piku, also featuring actors Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone. Irrfan died after a two-year battle with cancer.

Apart from the yet-to-be-titled film, Babil also has Netflix's 'Qala', waiting to be released. He wrapped the shoot of the film earlier this year. Directed by Anvitaa Dutt and produced by Anushka Sharma under the banner of Clean Slate Filmz, the film also stars Tripti Dimri and Swastika Mukherjee.
