When the crime drama series Dexter premiered in 2006, it quickly gained a loyal fan base across the globe. Michael C. Hall, who played the titular serial killer Dexter Morgan, delivered a flawless performance. The show follows a forensic bloodspatter analyst who secretly lives a double life as a vigilante serial killer, targeting criminals who have escaped justice.

Arya, it’s 23 years since your debut in Raj Kanwar’s Ab Ke Baras?

First of all, I consider it a privilege to still be standing here as an actor. It’s been 23 years since my first film. I feel deeply grateful.

Babil Khan deleted the videos, which went viral like crazy on the internet, and then he deleted his Instagram account, only to restore it later.

Jombieland Punjabi Zom-Com Poster(Photo Credit –Instagram)

The official poster of the Punjabi film Jombieland, featuring Kanika Mann, Binnu Dhillon, Angira Dhar, and marking the acting debut of G Khan, is finally out — and it’s just as quirky and chaotic as fans expected. Touted as India’s first full-on Punjabi zombie comedy (zom-com), the film blends undead mayhem with desi humor.

Directed by Thaparr, the story unfolds in a small village shaken by a mysterious Z1N1 virus outbreak that quickly spirals into a full-blown zombie crisis. At the heart of the narrative are Jeeti and Koko — a couple caught between familial pressures and a sudden fight for survival.

Binnu Dhillon, best known for his impeccable comic timing, explores grittier terrain in this genre-bending tale. Kanika Mann plays a resilient lead who evolves through the chaos, while Angira Dhar was instantly hooked by the film’s zany concept of “zombies in Punjab.

We have the official statement from Babil Khan’s family and team.

“Over the past few years, Babil Khan has earned immense love and appreciation for his work, as well as for his openness about his mental health journey. Like anyone else, Babil is allowed to have difficult days — and this was one of them. We want to reassure all his well-wishers that he is safe and will be feeling better soon.

That said, a video of Babil has been widely misinterpreted and taken out of context.

In the clip, Babil was sincerely acknowledging a few of his peers whom he believes are making meaningful contributions to the evolving landscape of Indian cinema. His mention of artists like Ananya Panday, Shanaya Kapoor, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Raghav Juyal, Adarsh Gourav, Arjun Kapoor, and Arijit Singh came from a place of genuine admiration — for their authenticity, passion, and efforts to restore credibility and heart in the industry.

Babil Khan Opens Up About Digital Privacy Fears (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Babil Khan’s new thriller, Logout, has quickly grabbed attention, not only for its gripping plot but also for how it reflects the increasingly invasive nature of our digital lives. Now streaming on ZEE5, the film delves into issues of digital identity, privacy, and the dark side of living through screens.

In a recent conversation, Babil shared his thoughts on the unsettling themes of Logout, explaining why it resonated with him personally. “I’ve never experienced something like this, but the idea of it is terrifying,” he admitted. “As much as I’m open and expressive, my privacy matters a lot to me. That’s why I live a fairly isolated life—keeping a small circle and staying out of the public eye as much as possible.”

In Logout, Babil plays Pratyush, an influencer on the verge of reaching...

In one of the more poignant moments of “Logout,” Zee5’s latest original starring Babil Khan, the protagonist earnestly proclaims that online social media is not a mere distraction for many. It is a world in itself. What “Logout” proceeds to tacitly depict under the garb of a genre film is that the same world is not all sunshine and rainbows, so to speak. It has pitfalls and fate’s cruel hands that act as a twisted leveler. Just like the real, physical world. Directed by Amit Golani and written by Biswapati Sarkar, “Logout” attempts to cram most of the perils of the modern online world. A little too much perhaps; yet it remains an engrossing watch with a commendable leading performance.

Babil Khan plays Pratyush Dua, known as ‘Pratman’ online, a social media influencer who rose to popularity via his “Laila-Majnu” skits, where he plays both characters. With a...

There is much to be appreciated if not exactly admired in Amit Golani’s Logout. It bravely uses a faceless voice to create a numbing terror in the protagonist, a self-important “influencer” who, like others of his ilk, seems to be influencing an anonymous mass of robotic “followers” who should forget the phone and focus on real life.

In the way the cell phone has created a parallel reality where people post their pictures thinking the world is interested in their daily activities, and in the way that the phone controls our lives, rather than the other way around, this film gets the hard reality of a civilization lost to a virtual world into a plot that essentially features just two characters: the influencer Pratyush Dua who has lost his entire universe (his phone), and a faceless female voice who now has control over Pratyush Dua’s life.

How ironical...
