After seeing Babil on screen, fans could not help but remember Irrfan Khan and praise Babil.
One wrote, ¡°#BabilKhan is such a delight to watch. & not because I miss seeing Irrfan Khan on screen or that they look the same. But because of his pensiveness and energy ¡ª it¡¯s so fresh, cool, calm, raw with the same talent + potential of evolution like Irrfan had. #FNP #FridayNightPlan.¡±
A second added,¡±#FridayNightPlan was actually a cute film and I recognised Babil Khan straight away!!! Looks just like his late dad.¡±
@iam_juhi #FridayNightPlan will appeal to teenagers- I expected a better scripted role for you in your special appearance and was disappointed

#FridayNightPlan totally stands on Amrith Jayan cuteness. He is a good actor it seems. From his first appearance in the film he doesn't seem to be a ordinary boy but at the end he turns to be handsome. That is what pure talent can do.

Watching Babil Khan in #FridayNightPlan gives me reason to think that good acting can be inherited after all. Also, he looks so much like his dad.

Babil Khan on comparisons with father Irrfan
Babil was questioned about if Irrfan's career had any impact on his acting debut in an interview with Film Companion.
He said, "You don¡¯t know you have that passion inside you, you need life experiences to push you toward your passion."
Twitter
Talking about his father, Babil added, ¡°I used to fear his greatness. As a 16-year-old, when you start realizing you want to do something with your life and your father is already a larger-than-life figure. That¡¯s why it took me so long to confront my own passion, my own desire."
The actor also had a special message for his father. "I wish you were here to see what I have grown up to be, you left before I could make you proud. That feeling of not being able to show him my work, and not being able to see him smile at what I have become. I am not saying that I have become something, just me as a person."
The movie is currently available on Netflix.
