Actor Babil Khan is set to make his Malayalam film debut with Gandhi Bazar Sunday Market, directed by filmmaker Babu Janardhanan. The film has gone on floors in Siliguri and marks a new addition to Babil’s filmography across different industries and storytelling formats.
The film also features an ensemble cast that includes Aparna Balamurali, Deepak Parambol, Nikhil Nair, Johny Antony, Jagadish, Sudheer Karamana, Athmiya Rajan and Jayashankar, among others.
Speaking about joining the project, Babil Khan said, “Malayalam cinema has always held a very special place in my heart because of the honesty, sensitivity, and emotional depth with which stories are told. As an actor, I’ve always believed that growth comes from stepping into the unknown and surrendering yourself completely to a new world, new people, and new emotions. Beginning the shoot for Gandhi Bazar Sunday Market in Siliguri feels incredibly exciting, emotional, and creatively fulfilling for me”
He further added, “Working with Babu sir and sharing screen space with such talented actors is going to be a great experience for me. I’ve always wanted to be part of stories that leave a lasting impact and challenge me to evolve not just as an actor, but also as a person. This film gives me exactly that opportunity. Entering Malayalam cinema is not just a new chapter in my career, it’s a journey I genuinely feel grateful and humbled to begin.”
With Gandhi Bazar Sunday Market, Babil Khan expands his work into Malayalam cinema for the first time while collaborating with a team of actors and technicians from the industry.
