The legendary Indian actor made his debut with the Oscar-nominated Hindi film ‘Salaam Bombay!’ and went on to star in some of the most critically acclaimed films in India like ‘Life in a… Metro’, ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘Hindi Medium’. However, the actor’s success was not confined to the boundaries of India.

Irrfan passed away at a hospital in Mumbai at the age of 53. The actor was admitted to the hospital for colon infection and he had been battling cancer since 2018.

On the workfront, Babil recently made his acting debut with Netflix’s ‘Qala’. He garnered an overwhelming response for his performance in the film.

Set in the late 1930s and early 1940s, Qala is the story of an eponymous young playback singer. The film is about Qala’s tragic past and the ways in which it catches up with her, causing her to unravel at the peak of her hard-won success. But the beginning and end of her spiral is her relationship with her mother, the pathology of her upbringing and the neurosis it leads to. It is helmed by Anvita Dutt.

In the upcoming months, he will be seen in Shoojit Sircar’s next.
