Late actor Irrfan Khan's son Babil Khan on Thursday night hinted at plans of joining the film industry soon while posting about his father on Instagram. Babil has on many occasions remained tightlipped about how he is planning to follow the footsteps of his late father into Bollywood. He shared a note alongside Irrfan’s photo and recalled one of his finest works and posted a still from the film 'Maqbool'.
In the photo, Tabu can be seen standing in a white-coloured salwar suit as a young Irrfan attends to her injured foot, sitting near her. For the uninformed, 'Maqbool' was directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starred Pankaj Kapur and Naseeruddin Shah, alongside Irrfan and Tabu and it was the screen adaptation of a Shakespeare play.
Sharing the photo Babil wrote, "I know it’s been a minute. When my superstitions allow me to, I will reveal what I've been busy with, but there's some stuff cookin'.”
The caption goes on: "Anyway, since I'm extremely frightened of having started my journey in Indian cinema without any formal training on acting and 8 years too early, I often calm my anxieties by looking at baba's pictures from NSD and earlier films. Here's something for his fans."

Irrfan died in April last year after a two-year battle with a neuroendocrine tumour. He was last seen on screen in Homi Adajania's "Angrezi Medium”, just before the covid-19 lockdown was announced.
Irrfan's final film 'The Song of Scorpions' is also set to release soon. The upcoming film has been directed by Qissa director Anup Singh.
Babil often keeps sharing late Irrfan’s pictures with a sweet note for his fans trying to keep his memories alive amongst us all.
