In a playful announcement that has caught the attention of movie buffs, ZEE5 has revealed that Babil Khan, son of late actor Irrfan Khan, has ‘logged into troll mode’ for their new series ‘Logout’. The streaming platform shared this update through their official Instagram account, teasing viewers about Khan’s character in the psychological thriller.
Babil Khan Takes On A Mischievous Avatar
The Instagram post features Babil Khan in what appears to be an intense character moment from the series. The caption ‘Babil Khan has logged into his troll mode! 😈 Watch Logout on ZEE5’ suggests that the young actor is portraying a character with a devious or provocative side in this new offering.
‘Logout’, which is now streaming exclusively on ZEE5, appears to be a psychological thriller that explores the darker side of fandom and online interactions. In another recent post promoting the series, ZEE5 shared: ‘When your ‘biggest fan’ turns into your ‘biggest nightmare’ 😵💫😶🌫️ #Logout now streaming, only on #ZEE5!’
The streaming platform also posted: ‘We’re committed…to reducing our screen time and logging out after watching this 🥲🫣 #Logout now streaming, only on #ZEE5!’
Star-studded Cast And Creative Team
The series features an impressive ensemble cast alongside Babil Khan, including critically acclaimed actress Rasika Dugal. The creative team behind the project includes director Nitin Nair and producers Amit Golani and Saurabh Khanna, among others. This marks another significant project for Babil Khan, who has been carefully building his acting career following in the footsteps of his father, the legendary Irrfan Khan. While still relatively new to the industry, Babil has been selective with his roles, focusing on content-driven projects.
The Logout Premise
Based on ZEE5’s promotional materials, ‘Logout’ appears to explore the theme of celebrity fandom gone wrong. The tagline ‘When your ‘biggest fan’ turns into your ‘biggest nightmare’ suggests a storyline that delves into the potentially dangerous side of fame and fan obsession in the digital age.
The series seems to touch on relevant contemporary issues surrounding social media, online trolling, and the sometimes toxic relationship between celebrities and their followers. This theme is particularly timely in an era where the line between celebrities and fans has been blurred by social media accessibility.
